Whenever I read or hear people bash Chicago and paint it as a terrible place, I always think: “But wait, have you been here?” I still walk around wide-eyed, jaw dropped.

Fact check: Not even a tiny bit true.

Lawyers play a video that was played for Bovino. In it, he tells agents "everybody fucking gets it if they touch you." "This is OUR fucking city," Bovino tells them.

On @WBEZ just now, @Ashlee_Rezin also said @DHSgov is using copyrighted @Suntimes photos in their social-media propaganda apparently without permission

DHS jacked our @JonFarinaPhoto's footage of Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino's bizarre hand signals for its latest propaganda video. Our footage on the left. We've filed a copyright takedown. x.com/DHSgov/status/…

Immigration agents today spotted in Avondale, Irving Park, Belmont Craigin. Again, tear gassing residents that gather to demand they leave, and follow them to alert neighbors they’re in the area. Developing.

MY HERO!!! **My free idea for @cta is every passenger gets headphones like on a plane. Will they use them? Do phones have like 1000 different ports so it won't work? Will it be expensive? DON'T RUIN MY DREAM

In a new status report, the Trump administration agrees to a 30-day extension of Judge April Perry's stay on National Guard deployment — but it does so to "facilitate the Supreme Court's review." Perry's order expires 10/23. This would keep it in place while we wait for SCOTUS.

Pro-crime politician @GovPritzker has repeatedly LIED about our brave men and women of federal law enforcement in defense of criminals. Watch as DHS sets the record straight:

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports. Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase. Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.
