#Broadview #ICE facility a ‘black box’ where #immigrants denied access to #lawyers, #medicine, lawsuit claims

The ACLU of #Illinois & others ask a federal judge to intervene against “inhumane” conditions. Federal #immigration officials [who no one believes anymore] say claims that there are “subprime conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are false.”

#Chicago's #children are getting caught in the chaos of #Trump’s #immigration crackdowns

The 2-year-old boy was so frightened, he stuttered.

“Mommy, mommy, mommy,” he repeated, clinging to her.

His mother, Molly Kucich, had been grocery shopping when her husband called, panicking. She heard “immigration raid.” Then: “tear gas.”

The federal judge who sought to meet with US #BorderPatrol boss Greg #Bovino on a daily basis said Wednesday she “was a little surprised” to see the #feds challenge that arrangement — especially after Bovino’s appearance on #FauxNews.

#US District Judge Sara Ellis made the comment Wed evening, after the #7thCircuit Appeals Court agreed to put a temporary hold on her standing appointment with the #CBP’s commander-at-large.

#Chicago locals take on #ICE block-by-block

The #immigration agents' #TearGas #grenades clinked & then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.
“We don't want you here,”yelled Rae Lindenberg. The 32-yr-old, who works in marketing, ran out of her apartment when she heard the shrill sound of whistles. "Get out of our neighborhood!"

ICE just lost in court in Chicago.

A judge literally had to order that ICE:

- provide three edable meals per person per day

- actually supply basic ass things like soap, tooth paste and menstral products

- provide people adequate water to drink, free of charge

Bruh, if ICE has to be told in court to do the BARE minimum to keep detainees alive its not a prison, its a concentration camp.

Pope Leo's recent criticisms of #Trump anti-#immigration policies are emboldening #Catholic efforts to help #immigrants caught up in the admin's hardline crackdown, snr US Church leaders say.

After Leo called on Tues for "deep reflection" in the #US about the admin's treatment of #immigrants, several top bishops as well as the country's main network of Catholic nuns & its national charity federation told Reuters they would step up their work.

The Trump administration bans praying outside or inside the Broadview ICE detention center in the Chicago area.

"Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be 'no more prayer' in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions."

This is an important, eloquent piece by @aphyr - worth a boost I’d say: https://aphyr.com/posts/397-i-want-you-to-understand-chicago

What he wants you to understand is the experience of being under siege by the secret police.

The #DemocraticNationalConvention will kick off Monday in #Chicago. Democratic organizers have had to rework programming for the #DNC after #POTUS #Biden dropped out & endorsed MVP #KamalaHarris to replace him.

But leaders within the DNC say they are harnessing that energy the #Harris & her running mate, MN Gov #TimWalz, have brought into the race, & that they hope to keep the momentum going at the convention & beyond.

Here’s what you need to know.

1-yr-old pepper-sprayed by federal agent in #Chicago

Video shows federal agents spraying chemical irritants from a moving vehicle at a line of cars waiting to leave a Cicero Sam’s Club Saturday morning. The action obviously violates a judge’s restriction on use of force.

Breaking the timeline for something that just happened: A dust storm/haboob envelops the Chicago skyline and lakefront, May 16, 2025. Taken from Hollywood Beach. #chicago #photography #ilwx #wx

A haboob, or dust storm, appears on the horizon as a brownish layer below an otherwise clear blue sky. Slightly choppy Lake Michigan waters, still quite blue, appear in the foreground. The Chicago skyline is becoming obscured.

A haboob, or dust storm, nears the Chicago skyline, darkening with the sun lowering in the sky. It's a little darker brown now, still beneath a blue sky, still with a choppy Lake Michigan in the foreground.

A haboob, or dust storm, encroaches now completely envelops the Chicago skyline, covered in a brown/dark brown haze. The blue skies overhead now also have a few clouds in them. The choppy Lake Michigan waters in the foreground are a little less blue as the ambient color temperature changes.

A haboob, or dust storm, now fully envelops the scene. Most of the people who were in previous frames have cleared out. The entire sky is brown, an additional beach at the horizon starting to disappear and all tall buildings further distant covered.

I have to hold my wife back from doing more than this gesture when we walk past this monstrosity in our neighborhood. I do worry on the day she might walk past it alone. #Photography #Chicago

A person is holding up their hand in the foreground, giving the middle finger gesture, with a Tesla Cybertruck parked on the street in the background. The hand has light pink polished nails and is prominently framed against the futuristic vehicle. Trees and residential buildings are visible in the background.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said. He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.
