Chicago

Axios - A judge ordered federal agents in Chicago to turn on their body cameras during encounters with protesters, saying she was "startled" after seeing images of clashes between agents and the public. Go deeper.

New Yorker Daily  - Throughout Chicago, activists, religious leaders, and other residents have maintained a steady resistance to the Administration’s efforts. In the Broadview neighborhood, protesters have organized demonstrations outside an ICE facility for weeks. In a new report from the city, Geraldo Cadava speaks with one protester, a Presbyterian pastor, who says he’s witnessed federal agents shooting protesters with pepper balls, dousing them with pepper spray, throwing flash-bangs, and wrestling people to the ground. The pastor, who has attended political demonstrations for decades, says, “I’ve never seen the brutality, just completely unprovoked, that I’ve seen at Broadview.”

Elsewhere in the city, immigration attorneys are trying to insure due process for their clients and buy them time to stay in the country. They are also, as one lawyer tells Cadava, trying to “slow down an authoritarian within the existing system.”

Trump’s assault on Chicago is now part of a pattern, which also involves use of the U.S. military. The President has deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. He called Portland “war ravaged” and has tried to send troops there.
