Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Pritzker, Feds Trade Blame After Protest Turns Violent

Posted on October 22, 2025 by M

The Chicago Police Department (CPD) faces allegations of instructing officers to refrain from assisting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents during a violent confrontation involving protesters. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin confirmed that the CPD’s Chief of Patrol ordered officers to stand down, during which an armed assailant, Marimar Martinez, was shot and injured. Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz have been charged in connection with the attack. The incident has escalated tensions, with Illinois officials launching an independent inquiry into the CPD’s response and federal actions.

Houston Chronicle: Trump Burger owner freed from ICE custody after judge cites health, deportation failures

Posted on October 22, 2025 by M

A judge ordered that one of the founders of the viral Trump Burger restaurant be released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, according to court filings, noting that he had been on supervised release for over a decade without incident and that every attempt to get him removed to either Israel, Palestine or Jordan in that time had been unsuccessful.

Iyad Abuelhawa had been detained by ICE on June 2. The order cited medical records showing Abuelhawa suffers from diabetes. While in ICE detention, he broke bones in his foot and has been confined to a wheelchair, experienced numbness in his legs and “is currently in danger of losing his whole foot,” according to the judge’s decision. The government, the decision notes, did provide evidence contesting those allegations.

CNN: In immigration crackdown, DHS statements on arrests face a problem of credibility

Posted on October 19, 2025 by M

A series of public statements from the Department of Homeland Security during its migrant crackdown in Chicago and across the country has been contradicted or undermined by local officials, a civil rights attorney and a legal filing.

These issues have been particularly notable in three prominent incidents: the arrest of a WGN employee, the shooting of a US citizen accused of ramming police vehicles and ICE’s detention of a 13-year-old in Massachusetts.

A closer look at the incidents underscores the broader skepticism of the Department of Homeland Security’s statements as federal agents have moved into city streets in Chicago and elsewhere.
