  1. Kat Abughazaleh shows us how to fight fascists

    thehandbasket.co/p/kat-abughaz

    > #katAbughazaleh, 27, woke up Friday a free woman. The former Illinois congressional candidate was charged in October along with five others for conspiring to impede an officer near the #Broadview ICE facility just outside of Chicago. In reality, #Abughazaleh and her co-defendants were there to protest the federal government’s increasingly public cruelty and the human rights abuses happening inside Broadview specifically, and broadly by ICE. The Trump administration, not surprisingly, did not appreciate their very public pushback and responded with brutality and violence. But with all charges against them now dropped, the only thing they’re an example of is why fighting fascists is good.

  14. This is what’s going on at the illegal #Broadview internment camp near #Chicago.

    Most of the ppl haven’t broken any laws, the ones that have are civil infractions whose statute of limitation has probably run out.

    Since most were probably illegally profiled, shown no warrant, read no Miranda rights, no due process, all cases shd likely be dismissed if we were working in a functioning democracy.

    These are not crimes. Gop racist 🧊 is the crime syndicate.

    https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/11/16/clergy-arrests-broadview-ice

    Pastor Luke Harris-Ferree and the Rev. Michael Woolf were arrested Friday while trying to meet and pray with detainees. They call on Gov. JB Pritzker to answer for the excessive use of force by police who they say aided federal agents.

  17. Los Angeles started it with the #ICE pinatas but others have followed suit. Somebody made a pinata of Bovino at the #Broadview ICE facility in #Chicago

  18. Remember: the only reason that makes sense why #ICE would deny clergy access to the #Broadview detention facility to minister to the detainees is because they believe the substantial bad press and messaging damage from publicly denying clergy access is less bad than the damage that would result from the clergy seeing inside the facility and telling people what they saw.

  19. Jillian Westerfield, the associate minister at Lake Street Church in Evanston, said faith leaders gathered at #Broadview to try to celebrate that several hundred detainees would be released soon due to a recent judicial order.

    Faith leaders have repeatedly formally requested access to the facility to offer #religious services & have been denied. An official at the detention facility declined access to faith leaders again over a phone call Friday morning.

  20. …Officers from the #CookCounty sheriff’s #police, state police & #Broadview police were on hand during the event. …several demonstrators could be heard yelling & chanting as a Broadview police officer pulled out a taser & shot it in the air as an apparent warning.

    Officers, many holding batons & zip ties, could be heard repeating: “Stand back! Stand back! Stand back or you’re gonna go.”

    Several protesters were forced to the ground during the confrontation.

  21. The 21 arrests, made by #Illinois State #Police troopers & Cook County sheriff’s police, happened about 10AM, an hour after the #protest, which drew >100 demonstrators, started outside the facility….

    In a statement, the Cook County sheriff’s office said, “as members of the Unified Command were allowing peaceful protest in #Broadview this morning, approximately 50 protesters decided to exit the designated protest area & unlawfully enter the roadway.”

  22. What started as a #peaceful #protest outside the #ICE processing facility in #Broadview erupted into shoving & multiple arrests Friday morning.

  23. “…when you decide to do the right thing, when you decide to obey your elected leaders, when you decide to respect your citizens. But on this day, know there was one side with guns and chemical weapons and one side with faith leaders in community demanding that law be followed, demanding safety and accountability. And you all choose to violate Illinois State law and the Constitution to make sure that we did not spread our message to the detainees.”

  24. “We lead by love. This is community. We send no orders, there’s no orders out here, just people defending each other. And we don’t need a f*cking gun to do it. We don’t need body armor to do it. We don’t need to beat up protestors, we don’t need to beat up fake news to do it. We show up, put our f*cking bodies on the line because we don’t f*ck with n*zis. Maybe one day, maybe one day, you can say the same. Community will welcome you back…”

  25. #Chicago Christian #Clergy Open Letter

    As the photos of arrested pastors circulate, it’s important to know why this large group of #interfaith leaders have taken their stand. Here are their words (full text at link).

    “What Kristi Noem and her #ICE agents are doing is immoral. They aren’t arresting criminals; they are arresting our neighbors. They are tearing families apart. They wait at bus stops to detain children and use them as bait to lure parents from their homes. People of all ages are in hiding, businesses shuttered, and our friends and congregants—the people we have been ordained to serve—are being taken to #Broadview in unmarked vans.”

  26. Cops, protesters injured and 21 arrested after scuffles erupt during #Broadview #ICE facility protest

    https://chicago.suntimes.com/2025/11/14/scuffles-erupt-during-broadview-protest-several-arrested

    Yelling and shoving broke out an hour after the protest began Friday against immigration “abductions” in the #Chicago area.

  27. A delegation of clergy, including a #Catholic bishop who is one of Cupich's deputies, tried to bring the inmates at #Broadview holy Communion on Nov 1, the Catholic feast of #AllSaintsDay but was denied access to the facility.

    #DHS propagandist McLaughlin said the #ICE facility in Broadview was a field office that is used for processing & short-term detention & it was not "standard operating procedure" to have religious services there.

    The order will be in effect for 14 days. It requires officials to provide detainees at a U.S. #ICE facility in the west Chicago suburb of #Broadview with a clean bedding mat and sufficient space to sleep, soap, towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, menstrual products and prescribed medications.
    The temporary restraining order says the holding rooms at the facility must be cleaned twice a day. Detainees must be allowed to shower at least every other day and should have three full meals and bottled water upon request.
