We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.
Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.
Nope, different district.

America is about to learn how tiny the federal gas tax has been all this time. 18¢ per gallon, unchanged since 1993 and not tied to inflation. Fill your SUV’s tank and you can buy half a pack of gum on Uncle Sam.
won’t somebody think of the horses??
very disappointed to see @thetriibe.com fired one of its staffers after they went public with their union campaign and has still not voluntarily recognized the union.

Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.
This is weird and chilling. Where is Sunny?!
Update from Broadview where Morrison told me CBP told Raja Krishnamoorthi and him that she was released last night
But Morrison said CBP now says she was never detained despite her phone pinning at Broadview as of around 9pm
