Chicago’s Militarized Immigration Raids “Coming to Other Cities” as Trump Plans 10,000-Bed Jails
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is calling for federal agents to pause immigration enforcement in the Chicago area until after Halloween, amid widespread condemnation of violent arrests and confrontations with residents. Meanwhile, the person at the center of much of Chicago’s enforcement, Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, did a five-hour deposition Thursday in a case challenging federal agents’ treatment of protesters, journalists, children and immigrants.

“The leading reason for police use of force is lack of compliance,” that department member said. “I’m a law enforcement officer. I’ve had people defy things I’ve needed done and had to get physical.” Another officer said the main role for a local police force is to “protect life and property and keep the peace,” so that would include protecting federal immigration enforcement agents if they’re in a bind on the streets.
But where it gets muddled, he said, is during protests, when citizens protesting against ICE and Border Patrol personnel see Chicago police officers protecting the federal officers. He said a normal citizen might think, albeit erroneously in his view, that Chicago police’s efforts in that situation are helping the federal officers with immigration enforcement when they aren’t.

The U.S.-Mexico border is no longer just a line on a map;
it is a roaming force, drifting through our cities and ravaging schools, courthouses and workplaces.
It has become unmoored from geography, dragging its violence and impunity into the heart of American life.
Once confined to the borderlands, the Border Patrol — with its culture of Wild West impunity — is now operating across the country,
joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement in raids far from ports of ent…

The brutality of our immigration policy is no longer quarantined to the border. Both parties are at fault.

The Supreme Court could give immigration agents broad power to stop and question Latinos

Catalina “Xochitl” Santiago had already made it past the security line at the El Paso airport
when two border patrol agents called her in for questioning
and whisked her away to an immigration detention center.
Nearly a month after her arrest, she and her family still aren’t clear why she is detained.
Santiago is a beneficiary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) program
– which has allowed her to legally live and work in the US.

Donald Trump’s overall approval ratings are as abysmal as they were back in July,
but now even his handling of key campaign issues is also taking a pounding.
Latest polls show that since the beginning of September, net approval stands at
-3.4 percent on immigration,
-14.1 percent on the economy,
-18.9 percent on trade, and
-30.4 percent on inflation.
Grim results, given that immigration and the economy polled as two of his most significant leads a…

The state of Florida is committed to $245 million toward the construction of
"Alligator Alcatraz,"
the Everglades immigration detention facility which is due to close in days.
Having to close the new Florida detention facility would be a blow to
both Governor DeSantis and the Trump administration,
and would show that one of the main impediments to authoritarian White House policy continues to be the courts.
