KTLA: Federal vehicle involved in crash in Oxnard, report says
"A vehicle containing federal agents and another vehicle collided in Oxnard Thursday morning.
The vehicles crashed in the 200 block of Fifth Street just before 8 a.m., the Ventura County Star reports, citing information from Oxnard Assistant Police Chief Rocky Marquez.
Marquez told the Star that the federal vehicle was tied to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Protesters and police gathered at the scene. "

Ultimately, the judge asked Skedzielewski to work out a modified order with the plaintiffs’ lawyers. And, she said, “if everybody kind of follows what’s outlined in this [temporary restraining order], conforms their decisions & behavior to what the #Constitution demands, then, you know, all copacetic.”

But Skedzielewski said #BodyCameras have not been rolled out for #ICE officers in the #Chicago area, & he complained about the logistics of sorting through those videos every time an alleged incident occurs.
Ellis told him, “there’s, you know, a simple way to not have to do that though, right?”
After a long pause, Skedzielewski insisted that, “I think we’re going to enforce federal law.” [Which sounds a lot like a threat]
#Trump #law #judiciary #RightToProtest #CivilRights #PoliceBrutality
The judge went on to explain that the use of #BodyCameras by agents would help sort out any confusion about what happened. Unlike cell phone cameras that are often whipped out after something occurs, body cameras “pick up events before the triggering event happens,” she said.

But Ellis then asked about the incident on the Southeast Side, in which local security cameras captured agents intentionally crashing into a car in a risky maneuver restricted by some #police departments nationwide.
Ellis told Skedzielewski, “We’re not on the #border. We are in an #urban, densely populated area.” And, she said, “There’s a reason the #Chicago Police Department has policies.”

The plaintiffs’ lawyers wrote in a court filing late Wednesday that “officers appear to be using #violence, #TearGas, & other #munitions against #protesters & journalists. Young #children & even #babies appear to have been subjected to the indiscriminate use of tear gas” by federal officers.

Ellis also said she would be modifying the #TRO she entered last week to require #BodyCameras on #ICE agents carrying out #Trump’s so-called “Operation Midway Blitz.” Details of that modification still needed to be ironed out.
Though the judge called the early morning hearing herself, the case has been closely watched following the use of #TearGas Sunday in #AlbanyPark & in a residential neighborhood on the SE side of #Chicago Tuesday following a chase where feds rammed an SUV.
Then Judge Ellis insisted that Russell Hott, director of ICE’s #Chicago field office, appear in her courtroom Monday to clarify what’s going on.
“The field director is going to explain to me why I am seeing images of #TearGas being deployed & reading reports that there were no warnings given before it was deployed,” Ellis said.

That same judge took the bench early Thursday at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, where she told one of Trump’s lawyers, bluntly, “I’m not blind.”
US District Judge Sara Ellis cited reports in the #Chicago Sun-Times & other media that have given her “serious concerns” about whether the #Trump admin has followed her #CourtOrder in recent days.

Judge hauling #ICE official into court as aggressive tactics continue despite her #CourtOrder: 'I'm not blind'
A week ago, a federal judge forbade agents from using #TearGas & other “riot control” weapons without warning in #Chicago as they carried out #Trump’s #deportation blitz.

“I’m getting images and seeing images on the news, in the paper, reading reports where I’m having concerns about my order being followed,” the judge said.
Sean Skedzielewski, an attorney representing the government, [lying] laid blame with “one-sided & selectively edited media reports.”

US District Judge Sara Ellis said she was a “little startled” after seeing TV images of clashes between agents & the public during #Trump’s #immigration crackdown.
“I live in #Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”
Ellis last week said agents in the area must wear badges, & she banned them from using certain riot control techniques against peaceful #protesters & #journalists.

The Guardian: Growing number of US veterans face arrest over Ice raid protests
Veterans are facing federal charges after protesting Ice sweeps and Trump’s national guard deployments. The justice department claims the veterans were violent
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/13/us-veterans-protest-ice-raids
"The absurdity of adults dancing in inflatable costumes during anti-ICE demonstrations is meant to display community joy, protesters say, and helps to dispel the Trump administration’s narrative that Portland is a crime-ridden “war zone,” a characterization local and state leaders say is false."

ICIRR Eyes on ICE Update: “This morning, Rapid Response Teams verified the presence of federal agents at multiple locations on the north side of Chicago including Rogers Park, West Ridge North Park, Edgewater, Uptown, Lakeview and in Evanston, IL. Multiple people have been detained. This is an ongoing operation.
Please be vigilant & aware of potential immigration enforcement in these areas.”
@TomSullivan I thought this was the red line for many to go #2A but alas #Amerikkka is content with #AmericanGestapo terrorizing entire 'hoods...
A win in Illinois, at least for now. Let's hope judicial pushback on Trump's plans continues...
' A judge in Chicago on Thursday issued a temporary restraining order blocking the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois, finding that the Trump administration’s directive violates the Constitution and would “only add fuel to the fire that the defendants themselves have started.” '
It seems many AI companies can't find a way to generate enough profits with users, so they're going for government contracts now.
This is part of the lobbying behind Chat Control in the EU, and ICE's mass surveillance systems in the US. Someone is making lots of money out of this.
Technology is never neutral.
And this technology with its lobbyists is doing a lot of damage right now.
Only the people can stop this.
Make your voice heard.
"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said."
"People come here to feel safe, to be themselves, and to grow without apology, and we are beautifully diverse. And we don't just tolerate that but we protect it, and we protect each other... We do not need outsiders coming here telling us how to police our own areas and divide our neighborhoods. We can take care of our own."

Urge your elected officials to stand up against ICE
ICE is terrorizing our community. From abducting immigrants and subjecting them to inhumane conditions to brutalizing protesters for exercising their First Amendment rights, it is time to hold ICE accountable.
They locked this firefighter up for FOUR WEEKS without due process (finally released). He had proper paperwork and status to work in the US--visa being processed, he was contributing to helping fight fires in Washington. He was ONLY released because of legal action.
"The attorneys argued immigration officers wrongfully arrested Hernandez and violated his constitutional rights. They say his arrest was made without a warrant, based on no information beyond Hernandez’s race and his invocation of his constitutional right to silence, according to the suit.... Hernandez’s attorneys say immigration officials concealed Hernandez’s whereabouts from his family and attorneys for 48 hours after his arrest... Late Tuesday morning, Hernandez’s attorneys got word the federal government had decided to move to dismiss the removal proceedings against him and were releasing him that day. He was released around noon."

“ According to an exclusive MSNBC investigation, the FBI secretly recorded White House border czar Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on September 20, 2024. The agents posed as business executives seeking federal contracts in a second Trump administration.”
"The Hyundai raid hasn’t received much attention in the U.S. news media, which is arguably understandable given everything else going on. But the diplomatic and economic fallout will be immense. Trump has been saying that his policies have brought in $17 Musks trillion in foreign investment, which would be an absurd number even if America were behaving like a normal country with rule of law."
