    The decision prolongs Trump’s most expansive effort so far to use the#military to #police a #Democratic city, after smaller deployments in several states were halted or wound down, as a result of orders by federal judges around the #US.

  13. Agents issued one warning about #TearGas but did not deploy it. They fired #PepperBalls instead toward #demonstrators before #Chicago police arrived & cleared the roadway, allowing the vehicles with agents & detainees to leave.

    Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez (33rd) was holding a staff meeting in her ward office around the corner when she heard whistles & ran out the door.

  14. A reporter spotted one agent without a #BodyCamera. Another agent used a GoPro camera in addition to a body camera. Some agents had numbered identifiers on patches on their uniforms. Others had identifying numbers written on tape.

  16. #Military experts said the #Trump administration’s moves hearken back to an earlier era when #NationalGuard troops were frequently deployed to *quell* #protests & *disturbances*, such as the 1970 #KentState shooting in which 4 unarmed college students were killed by the Ohio national guard.

  17. In one contract that #ICE signed last month for #Clearview #AI facial recognition software, the agency said in a filing that it would be used to investigate “assaults against law enforcement officers.” Other federal contracts show ICE has been expanding its fleet of small, remote-controlled drones, which it has said it is using to film #protesters.

  18. A temporary restraining order [#TRO] issued by a federal judge last week requires agents to issue 2 warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas, chemical sprays, plastic bullets & flash bangs. The order also bars firing at #protesters, #reporters & #clergy members & limits using #force such as tackling — unless the person represents an immediate threat.

  19. Judge Perry has handed a draft of her written #CourtOrder to both sides & left the bench. She's letting them look at it until she returns.

    We still don't know the exact details of her order. She said she's granting the #TRO "in part," which indicates some part of it is also being denied. Stay tuned.

  20. #BREAKING

  21. Hamilton wants Perry to treat this as a preliminary injunction [#PI] hearing, not a #TRO hearing. He's asking that any injunction be narrowly tailored.

    Hamilton: "No injunction should issue against the president of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security or Secretary Noem."

    And, Hamilton asks for a stay of any injunction.

  22. But Wells cites a quote in that ruling that mentions "public virtue."

    "It's easy to just look past that term," he says.

    Wells: "This case is replete with evidence of #BadFaith, of an abandonment of public virtue, of a lack of honest devotion to the public interest & of a grave risk of #usurpation or wanton #tyranny."

  24. #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson entered the courtroom.

    Judge Perry notes “we haven't talked about the words 'regular forces,'”which appear in the #law. She pushes #DOJ atty Hamilton for a definition.

    Hamilton: "I think it's a reference to the status quo.

    Perry quotes from a filing that says, on 9/29, the AG “directed ATF, Marshals, DEA & FBI to direct all necessary officers & agents to defend ICE facilities & personnel.”

  26. The judge said it “is a miracle to me that no one was more seriously injured” in the incident in which Martinez & Ruiz allegedly followed agents for more than 20 mins as they drove after conducting an operation in Oak Lawn. But she said the defendants’ lack of criminal history & extensive family & community ties compelled her to release them pending trial.

  27. U.S. District Judge Heather McShain denied a request by the federal government to detain Martinez & Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, pending trial. Martinez & Ruiz, who wore orange jumpsuits for the detention hearing, were charged Sunday with felony assault of a federal officer.

  29. Mayor #BrandonJohnson of #Chicago said Monday morning that he would issue an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones,” which would ban federal #immigration agents from setting up staging areas on city property or private businesses without a #warrant.

    “We cannot allow them to rampage through our city with no checks or balances,” Johnson said of federal agents. “If #Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will.”

  30. Kotek, the governor of #Oregon, applauded Immergut’s ruling & said #Trump can “expect Oregon to stand up to him at every turn.”

  31. Ald. Julia Ramirez, whose 12th Ward includes #BrightonPark, said there was “pure escalation” from #FederalAgents on Saturday. She said community members feel that #ICE agents are antagonizing #protesters.

    “It doesn’t seem like things are calming down,” Ramirez said. “We’ve seen immense anger from neighbors feeling like federal agents are provoking & wanting to #incite #violence on people who just care about keeping people safe.”

  32. A federal judge on Saturday blocked the #Trump admin from deploying #troops in #Portland, at least temporarily thwarting Trump’s push to send the #military into Oregon’s biggest city.
