Salon: Trump’s deportation raids ensnare Chicago’s everyday workers
The administration’s theater of cruelty has everyday people asking “Am I next?”
At the top are undocumented immigrants that Trump and his allies claim are “destroying the American republic…[and] the American people and our social cohesion.”
These individuals are not well-known. They are everyday people who have fallen on the wrong side of the “friends and enemies” distinction that animates Trumpism and its theater of cruelty. Almost daily, in Democratic-led cities and parts of the country like Chicago, Trump’s mass deportation campaign produces harrowing scenes.
At Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Border Patrol agents swarmed rideshare lots in search of “illegal aliens” and arrested 11 people. Food vendors are hiding. Restaurants are losing money and in danger of closing because their staff are afraid to go to work. Landscapers and other laborers are also being targeted.
No place is safe. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are also violating schools, churches, courthouses and other sanctuary zones in search of people who are not violent criminals or some great threat to society. They are working-class people who are providing an essential service to their neighbors and the larger community.

TheWrap: Chicago Laugh Factory Night Manager Arrested for Interfering With ICE, Club Mounts Legal Fund
Laugh Factory Chicago is crowdsourcing for legal funds to assist night manager Nathan Griffin, who was arrested after he allegedly interfered with federal agents attempting to carry out an immigration operation outside the comedy club.
Video from the arrest shows Griffin, an American citizen, being tackled to the ground by multiple agents and handcuffed. His mother, Elaine Plybon, was also briefly held down. People shouted, “Why are you doing this? Where are you taking him?” as Griffin was pushed into the backseat of a car.
“My brother in law Nathan was detained by border patrol officers today in Chicago, despite the fact that he is a natural-born American citizen,” the description reads. “After being arrested and hidden throughout the system, he finally resurfaced about 4 hours after his detainment in FBI custody awaiting a hearing for a federal assault charge which could carry 8 years in prison if convicted.”

HuffPost: Trump Wants DOJ To Look Into His Go-To Gripe With ‘Gusto’
Though thoroughly debunked, the president wasn’t done squawking about what he called the “biggest SCANDAL in American history.”
President Donald Trump urged the Justice Department to look into election fraud with “gusto” as he rehashed his favorite grievance from the 2020 presidential race in a Sunday post on Truth Social.
Using the feds’ investigation into an illegal gambling ring with ties to pro basketball as his jumping off point, the president said, “What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections.”
Latin Times: ICE Holding Hundreds of Immigrants in Makeshift Detention Center Under San Diego Courthouse
About 200 immigrants who arrived for annual ICE check-ins were taken into custody after nearby detention center reached capacity
From Los Angeles to New York, hundreds of people who appeared for standard appointments at federal buildings have been held for days as immigration authorities work to meet quotas widely pushed by senior Trump administration officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who has urged the agency to make at least 3,000 arrests nationwide each day.
Multiple reports indicate that this tactic has been in place for weeks, leading to hundreds of people being confined in makeshift detention facilities. As Border Report noted on Oct. 22, that has been the case in San Diego.
According to the outlet, about 200 immigrants who arrived for annual check-ins with ICE were detained and are being held in the basement of the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego.
…
One attorney said the immigrants being held do not appear in ICE’s detainee locator database and that families have been unable to obtain information about their loved ones.
Another attorney, who requested anonymity, said her clients were kept in rooms with extreme temperatures and forced to share bathrooms without privacy. She added that those being held were not provided medical care or edible food while confined in the basement.
ZNetwork: Stephen Miller Against Voting Rights
The Supreme Court, urged on by well-funded far-right ideologues like Stephen Miller, is set to curtail important provisions of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to aggressive, racially based disenfranchisement.
The US Supreme Court is reportedly set to gut core provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, a landmark law that prohibited racial discrimination in the voting process. Urging the court to act is the America First Legal Foundation, a nonprofit public interest law firm cofounded in 2021 by top Trump adviser Stephen Miller.
At the same time, the firm is urging the US Election Assistance Commission, which oversees national voter registration forms, to institute a nationwide policy requiring voters to show proof of citizenship to vote.
…
Miller’s firm’s petition is opposed by a number of voting rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union. In its letter on the matter, the Fair Elections Center says that the petition could disqualify millions of eligible voters who lack documentary proof of citizenship and quotes former conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s insistence “that a simple means of registering to vote in federal elections will be available.”
