I wanted this feature to be useful, but based on the admittedly tiny sample pool I tested, it's not. It's not catching the nuance and is flat-out misstating several key points in both articles. /end

They weren't detailed, miscategorized things, explained things incorrectly, and overemphasized sections that actually weren't that important. I did like that they seem to be pre-generated on Hein's end and then copy/pasted them in, so you're getting the same result each time. /2

You're right though - I think a lot of people (myself included) are surprised that Lakeview is a focus right now.

They've been all over. ICIRR sends out localized alerts based on your ZIP code, and this is the first time to my knowledge that ICE has been in my ZIP (at least this aggressively). When they've been in other neighborhoods I hear about it from other sources.

This is with the caveat that I am white, and they have explicitly stated that they are going after people who don't appear to be white. I know that I am more than likely physically safe, but I've been upset this entire time, and having them this close makes it so much worse.

I'm also seeing a lot of (some unconfirmed) reports on the Chicago subreddit and iceout.org/en/placing ICE in Wicker Park, Oz Park, and West Town. They seem really active today, and are pushing closer to the lake and the Loop.

One of my tasks as a law librarian is to go into our 1L legal writing classes and teach Styles/TOAs/Page#s, etc. to students. It's super helpful! And most law schools don't do it!
