“I didn’t have to go through this, & my daughter didn’t have to go through this,” Veraza said. “We aren’t protesters, we weren’t going after them, we weren’t attacking them.”
Veraza said his family is considering legal action to help pay for specialist care that he said his daughter now requires.

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.

[This motherfucker] #Trump overstepped his #authority when he sought to deploy #NationalGuard troops to #Portland, #Oregon, to protect [his #Gestapo] the #ICE office there, a federal judge ruled on Friday, issuing a permanent block on troop deployments to the city in response to anti-ICE #demonstrations.
Judge Karin J. Immergut of US District Court, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, previously issued a preliminary injunction blocking his order federalizing Guard soldiers in OR….

With her temporary block expiring, Judge Karin Immergut said the fascist #Trump admin had failed to prove that protesters were *hampering* Trump’s policies.

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 messages were presented as evidence in federal court Wednesday. Martinez, a 30-yr-old #US #citizen, & Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, are charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer using a deadly or dangerous weapon.
In the text, agent Exum wrote that he had “an amendment to add to” his story. “I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,” the text read.

“It’s about their practices targeting #journalists, targeting #clergy & people exercising their constitutional rights,” said Craig Futterman, atty for the #media orgs. “We have #children, #parents & #grandparents who will forever be afraid to exercise their very rights that make this country great, assaulted by the very people assigned to protect those freedoms.”

Attorneys for the plaintiffs told Ellis that federal agents repeatedly & brazenly violated the constitutional rights of #protesters & #journalists during aggressive #immigration raids, which began 2 months ago.

“The agent then yelled ‘throw another one’ & prepared a second canister,” acc/to a filing by attorneys for the plaintiffs. “Similarly, one agent told another, ‘Hey, throw it (#TearGas) for fun.’”
Video of both incidents did not capture agents ordering the crowd to disperse or warning that they were going to deploy #ChemicalAgents, as required by Ellis’ order.

However, no video has surfaced of #Bovino being struck & 4 days after the incident, Bovino had no visible head injury when he testified in Ellis’ courtroom. He subsequently admitted he had #lied.
Federal agents also deployed #TearGas against Chicagoans on Oct 24. Video captured by body-worn cameras recorded one agent mocked the crowd as tear gas was deployed, saying twice, “have fun!” & laughing as they fled.

Lawyers for the #Trump admin told Ellis they plan to appeal her ruling…
Nearly a month ago, Ellis prohibited federal agents from deploying #TearGas & other #weapons against #journalists, #protesters & anyone not posing an immediate threat to #immigration enforcement agents.
Since Oct 3, federal agents have fired tear gas at Chicagoans on at least 7 occasions, along with #PepperBalls & other crowd *control* measures.

Ellis held an all-day hearing Wednesday in her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown #Chicago where she heard from members of the #clergy, #protesters & Chicago #residents that they had been terrified by the aggressive actions of federal agents carrying out what the #Trump admin calls “Operation Midway Blitz.”

“The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters & attacked by agitators,” Ellis said Thursday before announcing her ruling. “That simply is untrue. And the government’s own evidence in this case belies that assertion.”

The #Trump admin also treated anti-#ICE #protesters worse because of the content of their #speech & impermissibly prevented the free exercise of #religion by #shooting, without warning, those engaged in prayer with #PepperBalls & #TearGas, both violations of the #FirstAmendment, Ellis said.
🚨She also said #BorderPatrol chief Greg #Bovino admitted to #lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month.
…The #daycare raid marked a heightened turn in #Trump's aggressive #immigration crackdown in #Chicago, which began in September with the stated purpose of pursuing dangerous criminals without the legal right to reside in the #US. It has resulted in more than 3,000 arrests, according to the #DHS, including US #citizens & people with no criminal record.

The woman, who was identified in a parents' text group shared with Reuters as Diana Santillana, a #teacher in the #infant classroom from Medellin, Colombia, could be heard saying in Spanish, "I have papers."
The agents grabbed the teacher in front of children, US Rep Mike Quigley, an #Illinois #Democrat, said in a statement. Shocked #parents …said the #school had recently told them that all the teachers were legally authorized to work….
Footage obtained by local WGN-TV showed 2 men, one in a balaclava, dragging a woman out of the colorfully decorated front doors of Rayito de Sol #daycare center as she screamed. The men wore vests that said "Police" but no other agency markings were visible.

Have you seen the incredible artwork that @CJevelyn made in response to the call looking for a human-made version of a popular #PortlandFrog #resist poster?
She generously agreed to release it with a #CreativeCommons license, which means that you are free to share, modify and/or print & #Wheatpaste around your town.
The original AI poster had "Resist" written at top. Would any #GraphicDesign people like to add that or something else?
Now I'm thinking instead of a propaganda poster, what about a motivational poster?

Die digitale autoritäre Transformation schreitet in den USA zügig voran. Videos zeigen, dass Beamte der CBP (Border Patrol) und des ICE (militarisierte Zoll und Polizeibehörde des Innenministeriums) inzwischen immer mehr Menschen in der Öffentlichkeit bedrängen und bedrohen, um sie zu biometrischen Gesichtsscans zu nötigen.
Vor wenigen Monaten wurde für das ICE eigens eine App entwickelt, mit der solche Scans zur Identifizierung möglich sind. Biometrische Datenbanken und vernetzte Systeme spielen bei der technologisierten Faschisierung eine zentrale Rolle. Auch die autoritäre EU baut derzeit ihre biometrischen Datenbanken nicht nur für Grenzkontrollen aus und möchte die biometrischen Daten der Mitgliedsstaaten der US-Regierung und Behörden überlassen.

Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, & her keys in plain view.
#DHS later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle & violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”
[Despite DHS claims,] Figueroa was released the same day a few hours later WITHOUT CHARGES.

Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle & exited w/ weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a #US #citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door & pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored them & forced Figueroa into a red minivan & drove away.

The victim was a 25-yr-old named Carlos Jimenez, who is a father of 3.

In Facebook groups & on Signal chats, tens of thousands of residents regularly #crowdsource information on #immigration agents’ last-known locations, neighborhoods being targeted that day & — importantly — the license plates, makes & models of the rental cars used by agents, which can change daily.

That hyperlocal effort, spun off into dozens of chats on social platforms, has helped create a type of zone defense that - activists say - has slowed down #immigration agents & in some cases forced them to withdraw without making an arrest.
…Over 3,000 people have been detained in #Chicago since early September, acc/to #DHS.
