as far as I can tell, none of the action described in the article relates to any immigrant whatsoever -- it appears to be all US citizens engaging with officers detaining other US citizens

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering hiring private bounty hunters to locate immigrants across the country, according to a procurement do ent reviewed by The Intercept. Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.
According to the do ent, which solicits information from interested contractors for a potentially forthcoming contract opportunity, companies hired by ICE will be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate, with further assignments provided in “increments of 10,000 up to 1,000,000.”
big brother in action
The United States’ anti-immigration regime already boasts an impressive arsenal of surveillance towers, cloud data bases, and automated visa systems.
Adding to that panopticon is the personal phone of every Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent currently prowling the streets of US for migrants to round up.
404 Media was the first to report the troubling rise of federal immigration officers busting out their phones to scan people’s faces to confirm their immigration status.
“I’m an American citizen so just leave me alone,” a Chicago-area man tells a swarm of masked immigration officials in a video circulating on social media. The man had refused to give his ID, and was declining to give officers information about his job. “Just get out of here, I have to go to work bro,” he pleads.
That’s when one of the officers points his phone camera at the driver’s face. He proceeds to fumble with his phone for a few seconds, while other masked feds crowd around and a small group of protestors gather.
“Hey, so listen, if you can — if you can take your hat off, it’ll go a lot quicker,” the officer stammers.https://ca.news.yahoo.com/ice-now-wa...172637576.htmlOther clips are also making the rounds showing ICE and CBP agents making prejudicial stops, haranguing brown-skinned people and scanning their faces when they exercise their right to refuse to cooperate.
Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that customs officials could not target people based on the color of their skin. That decision was at least temporarily suspended thanks to an emergency rulingby 2025’s Supreme Court, allowing feds to stop people based on factors like race, ethnicity, or the language they’re speaking.
Now imbued with the power to racially profile whoever they want, federal agents are increasingly using facial recognition as the go-to tool to sort the citizens from the migrants. The dystopian practice is in keeping with comments made by ICE’s acting director Todd Lyons earlier this year, when he said he imagines deportations running like “[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”
yet another parallel with the 1850s and the Fugitive Slave Act

On Halloween, ‘state-sponsored terror’ in Chicago and the north suburbshttps://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/...aids-evanston/In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls to disperse an angry crowd and arrested two U.S. citizens. In Evanston, one repeatedly pointed his weapon at protesters while another knelt on a man’s back and punched him in the head.
They grabbed workers at an apartment complex in Hoffman Estates, landscapers, house painters and laborers in Edison Park, Skokie and Niles.
Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, teams of Border Patrol agents — including one led by Cmdr. Greg Bovino — tore through Chicago’s Northwest Side and nearby suburbs Friday, sparking violent clashes with community members throughout the day.
In a statement provided late Friday, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesman said five Mexican citizens were detained in the raids. None of them had violent criminal histories, according to the information released by DHS.
Three U.S. citizens were also arrested for “violence against law enforcement,” the statement said.
dumbass thinks democrats havent done gerrymandering for years.....
turning Hispanic Americans into second class citizens is going to blow back
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/...ago-trump-ice/But unlike ICE’s once-targeted operations, Border Patrol’s arrests now appear arbitrary. Agents drive up and down residential streets and stop mostly brown people seemingly at random — landscapers, pedestrians, construction workers — demanding to know, “Where were you born?” or “Are you a U.S. citizen?”
Experts warn that this aggressive approach will likely fuel greater abuses of civil and human rights, heighten public anger and lead to more warrantless arrests, straying far from the previous stated focus on “the worst of the worst.”
For weeks, residents have reported the presence of heavily armed federal agents conducting high-profile sweeps across neighborhoods from Little Village to the western suburbs. Videos show officers in military-style gear confronting pedestrians, blocking intersections and deploying tear gas in confrontations spanning eight different neighborhoods.
beating up citizens for mouthing off
Neighbors at the protest Saturday at Asbury Avenue and Oakton Street in Evanston told NBC Chicago the federal agents were out of control during the Halloween immigration operation.
"They are outside their line of duty, they’re drawing guns on unarmed citizens, there needs to be accountability now," said Ryan Garton, an Evanston resident.
The Halloween immigration enforcement operation began a few hours before trick-or-treating started Friday, just steps from Chute Middle School.
“It was awful, there were ICE agents and [Customs and Border Patrol] CBP agents pointing guns at community members, pepper spray in the face of community members within eyesight of our Chute Middle School students and that is not okay,” said Allie Harned, a Chute Middle School social worker.Neighbors in the area began shouting and blowing whistles. Agents used pepper spray and arrested three U.S. citizens for "violence against law enforcement," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
A Border Patrol vehicle was involved in a crash during the operation. According to DHS, agents tried to make a U-turn and the driver of a red vehicle crashed into their vehicle.
DHS said the genitals of one of their agents was also grabbed.https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loca...gents/3846471/However, witnesses say the agents were the aggressive ones — some stating an agent pointed a handgun into the crowd.
"They were brutalizing people who were yelling at them, it’s legal to yell in America," Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss said
Biss said Evanston police are investigating the use of force by federal agents during the operation.
"There’s an open investigation and they’re gathering evidence and figuring out the best course of action to make sure hold these criminals accountable who came to Evanston and assaulted our residents," Biss said.
The city of Evanston introduced a new policy to dispatch a police supervisor to reports of incidents involving federal agentsin the community this week.

local and state police investigating Feds for illegal enforcementwhile another US officer watches
https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...rado-mistaken/The father detained with his two children by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in southwestern Colorado earlier this week was wrongly identified by agents, a senior official with ICE's Denver field office said on Friday.
The official, Gregory Davies, testified in a federal court hearing on Friday that 45-year-old Fernando Jaramillo-Solano was "mistaken" for someone else immigration agents were looking for. Jaramillo-Solano was taking his 12-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son to school in Durango when they were stopped by ICE agents and taken into custody. All three remained in ICE custody as of Friday.
Word of the family's detention, combined with a now-viral video, prompted a protest outside ICE's Durango facility.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said on Thursday that it's investigating the use of force by an anonymous, masked agent against a woman at the protest, as well as any "state criminal law violations during the incident." That agent's actions could be seen in multiple videos.
The case in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado centers around allegedly warrantless arrests and was originally filed on Oct. 9 by the ACLU of Colorado, Meyer Law Office, and Olson Grimsley Kawanabe Hinchcliff & Murray, LLC against ICE, its Denver Field Office, ICE's parent agency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and several senior DHS and ICE officials.
heroic action against cowardly man-snatching goons

https://www.calonews.com/featured-to...f01f8e404.htmlCarlos Jimenez, a 24-year-old U.S. citizen, was on his way to work at a food bank when he was shot by ICE officers in what a DHS spokesperson calls “defensive shots.”
On Thursday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m., ICE officers were at Vineyard Avenue in Ontario when Jimenez, who was not in the target vehicle, attempted to pull in front of the officers.
According to Javier Hernandez, executive director of the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Jimenez was trying to assist and provide aid to the person who was being stopped by ICE officers.
After Jimenez was shot in the shoulder, the LA Times and LA Taco reported that he drove to his brother’s house so he could take him to the hospital.
He was released and then booked at West Valley Detention Center. He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer.
Trump wants poor people to starve on his say so
violent federal goons need to stop terrorizing Americans
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wer...ck-2025-11-02/The squad of agents had appeared in Lakeview last month, an upscale neighborhood dotted with dog daycares, medical spas and vegan restaurants, hopping over a gate to chase down a construction worker who was handcuffed and shoved into a vehicle.
When Courtney Conway, a 42-year-old lifelong Chicago resident, heard about the chase through Facebook groups and text message chains, she hopped on her bike to join the protesters.
“We are not a violent city. This is not a war zone, and I think these guys are terrorizing us and trying to incite us,” said Conway. “We want them out. We want them to stop kidnapping our neighbors.”
arresting, abusing and wrongfully prosecuting US citizens merely for observing
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-...-dc-rcna240605I’m a law-abiding citizen who never thought I’d be of such interest that the U.S. government would use my tax dollars and yours to try to send me to prison, but there I was in Washington, D.C., at the end of Julybeing manhandled by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent trying to remove my phone from my hand.
And there I was in court last month being tried —and quickly acquitted by a jury of my peers — on the false charge that I’d “forcefully pushed” an FBI agent’s hand against a cement wall and “caused lacerations.” All I’d done that night in July was stand outside the D.C. jail so the families of the men being detained for possible deportation would know what had happened to them. I wanted those men and their families to be treated fairly in this unjust time we are living in.
Here’s what sticks out about my experience: being put in the back of an unmarked SUV and with handcuffs that were put on so tight, I have permanently lost feeling in my thumb; not being read my rights or being told what I was being charged with beyond not minding my business.
Shortly before my arrest, I had just gotten a new job working at an animal hospital and moved into a new apartment in a part of the city I’ve always wanted to live in. Things were going great. But would I even have a job to go back to now?
I’m glad I did. My supervisor actually thanked me for doing what I did, for standing up for a group of people being targeted in this country. And I cried. I believe that filming what federal agents were doing that day counted as basic human decency.
After days of not knowing why I was being held, my public defender, Tezira Abe, told me the government wanted to charge me with felony assault of a federal agent, a crime that carried up to eight years in prison. I was dumbfounded.
Three grand juries refused to indict me after the government presented its case against me. That should have been the end of it. But then U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office decided to charge me with a misdemeanor, which doesn’t require a grand jury. I don’t know which was greater, my fear or my disbelief. I was still facing a year in the county jail.
