"New Yorkers Appear to Foil ICE Raid Before It Begins"
NYC has some unique advantages regarding small streets and density, this kind of massing is more challenging in other geographies. (NYC also has advantages in making national news...)

As the NYT board has noted in previous editorials, the revival of domestic manufacturing is a worthy goal, & if #tariffs were applied judiciously, the benefits might outweigh the #costs. But #Trump’s indiscriminate use of tariffs is doing far more harm than good. The current tariffs will cost the average #US household about $1,800 per year, the Yale Budget Lab estimates.
The admin’s crackdown on #immigration is similarly being conducted in ways that maximize the economic costs.
Reducing illegal #immigration is a worthy goal, its long-term economic effects are complex. But #Trump’s cruel, chaotic campaign to deport & drive out undocumented immigrants is creating #labor shortages that in turn increase #prices. It is part of the reason #food prices were rising at an annual pace of 3.1% as of September, the last data released *before* the government shutdown.

#SCOTUS announced Monday that it will review a controversial #immigration policy adopted during the first #Trump administration of turning away potential #asylum seekers before they step foot on American soil, setting up the first major immigration policy case of the term.
As an unprecedented #immigration crackdown enters a 3rd month, a growing number of #Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a #racist & aggressive #overreach of the federal govt. The #Democratic stronghold’s response has tapped established activists & everyday residents from wealthy suburbs to working class neighborhoods.
“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime
---
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arrested in a Chicago raid are telling their stories.

Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid #Trump #immigration crackdown
The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods & stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food & deliver it to #shelters & #families in need.

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 is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."
