Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance

December 16, 2025 Melissa Gira Grant, The New Republic. Educate! Chicago, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights

Lucy says she starts early because ICE starts early. It’s around eight o’clock one Thursday morning in late October, at a coffee shop in Back of the Yards, a neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. Taped inside the shop’s glass door, a sign warns ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant. (The agents very rarely bother to get one.) More signs surround it: “Hands Off Chicago”; “Migra: Fuera de Chicago”; the phone number to report ICE activity. (These are all over town.) Free whistles sit at the register. Lucy buys a black coffee from the barista and joins me at a table, checking her phone for messages about potential sightings—not just of ICE, but also Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies, such as the FBI and ATF, tasked with arresting immigrants in neighborhoods like this one.

Worker Leader, Released From ICE Custody, Speaks Out

December 11, 2025 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Chicago, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights

Willian Giménez González is a day laborer in Chicago known for organizing for workers’ rights. He was part of a group that filed a federal lawsuit over the alleged beating and harassment of day laborers at a Home Depot. On September 12, federal agents detained him outside of his barbershop, beginning a 47-day ordeal in which he was held in the Broadview ICE detention center in Illinois and then moved to the North Lake detention center in Michigan. The abduction came in the early days of “Operation Midway Blitz” as the Trump administration dramatically ramped up the presence of heavily armed, masked federal agents throughout the Chicago area.

New Orleans, LA – On Thursday December 4, a crowd of 30 people packed the city council chamber to demand that the city stand up against ICE and Border Patrol operations in the city. Operation “Swamp Sweep” began in New Orleans and surrounding areas this past Monday, December 1. A host of federal agents have descended on the city, including Gregory Bovino, chief of Border Patrol operations, who also made stops in Chicago and Charlotte earlier this year. During a rally before the meeting, speakers united on the need to challenge city leadership, including Mayor-elect Helena Moreno, not to collaborate with ICE. “Children are skipping school because they are afraid of ICE, parents are unable to go to the grocery store, workers are losing their jobs and losing their businesses.

Support For Immigrants In Missouri Offers Resistance In A Red State

December 7, 2025 Brian Dolinar, Truthout. Organize! Detention, Immigrant Rights, Missouri, Solidarity

For more than 200 days, Fernando Herrera-Cruz has been sitting in a county jail in central Missouri on immigration charges. The conditions in the jail are “very bad,” Herrera-Cruz told Truthout, with the help of a translator. “There are some guards who are very racist towards immigrants.” Herrera-Cruz, who is 25 years old, left Mexico to come to the United States to work with his brother for a roofing business in St. Louis. He was travelling in rural Missouri for a job when the trailer on his truck got a flat tire. Herrera-Cruz says a passerby stopped, began harassing him, and called the police. When local sheriff’s deputies arrived, instead of helping with the flat tire, they arrested Herrera-Cruz.

ICE Now Grabbing People Out Of Churches

December 4, 2025 Mark Gruenberg and John Wojcik, People's World. Educate! Chicago, churches, ICE, Immigrant Rights

Chicago — ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), in an ever-expanding unconstitutional crime spree, is ushering in the Christmas season by launching immigration raids inside churches across the country. Trump’s holiday gift to the nation is the administration’s new policy that it is legal to enter churches as people worship and round them up in the immigration raids happening from coast to coast. Not waiting for the fightback on the part of immigrants and their supporters that has already begun, ICE agents began their terror campaign here in Chicago on a recent Sunday.

ICE Raids Turn Schools Into Battlegrounds To Defend Students

Educator Carolyn Brown was meeting with school counselors when she got the call: ICE agents were out front. By the time she got out of the building, ICE had abducted a woman and her 17-year-old daughter, an American citizen. Brown, a coordinator of the International Baccalaureate program at Thomas Kelly College Prep, is also part of the rapid-response team for the school, in a Mexican enclave in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. The ICE agents were gone, for the moment. But in the stores across the street, people were too frightened to venture out.

New Yorkers Foil ICE Raid Before It Begins

For the second time in just over a month, a large-scale raid by dozens of immigration agents in New York City was met with a similarly large-scale counter-protest. This time, however, the protesters thwarted the authorities' plans before they began. Multiple arrests were made on Saturday during scuffles on the edge of Chinatown, during which hundreds of protesters faced off with federal agents, eventually supported by the New York Police Department (NYPD), as they prepared to launch a raid in the area. It comes just a month after a raid by 50 federal agents using military-style vehicles stormed nearby Canal Street in Lower Manhattan, and was met with a protest of hundreds in response.

It was Friday, June 6, and the rent was due. As soon as she finished an errand, Imelda Carreto planned on joining her family as they gathered scrap metal to earn a little extra cash. Her fiancé, Julio Matias, and 15-year-old nephew, Carlos, had set out early, hitching a trailer to the back of their beat-up gray truck. Shortly after 8 a.m., Carreto’s phone rang. It was Carlos, telling her an officer with the Florida Highway Patrol had pulled over the truck on Interstate 4 near Tampa. The stated reason: cracks in their windshield. But Carreto was worried. She knew Florida police were collaborating with federal immigration authorities.

New Orleans: Hundreds March Against Border Patrol Deployment

New Orleans, LA – On Saturday, November 22, hundreds of New Orleans residents from all walks of life gathered to protest against the new presence of U.S. Border Patrol agents in the city. The protest, led by the New Orleans Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, gathered local activists to send a message to Trump and Jeff Landry that the city will not bow down to attacks on immigrants. “The time is now to follow suit with Los Angeles, with Chicago, to take these streets and fight back against this invasion,” said Emma Maxwell from the New Orleans Alliance.

Charlotte Students Lead Mass Action Against Immigration Raids

As federal agents swept through Charlotte, North Carolina, the first and most powerful pushback came from the students — the young people who showed what solidarity looks like in action. On Nov. 17, more than 30,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg students stayed home in a coordinated “sickout” to protest a federal operation targeting immigrant neighborhoods. By the end of the week, more than 56,000 students had refused to attend school, making it one of the largest student-led actions against immigration raids anywhere in the country.

UE150 Condemns Border Patrol In North Carolina

November 21, 2025 UE Local 150, Workers.org. Resist! ICE, Immigrant Rights, North Carolina, UE Union

UE150 condemns the Trump administration’s plan to deploy Border Patrol units to North Carolina. This decision is an alarming escalation and a direct threat to working people across our state. We denounce this action because we know exactly what it represents: a deliberate attempt to intimidate immigrant workers, silence community voices, and turn our communities into political props. North Carolina is not a border state. There is no emergency here that justifies a militarized federal presence. This move is nothing more than a manufactured crisis — a cynical performance meant to score political points while undermining the safety and dignity of the very communities that keep this state running.

An Interview With A Chicago Teacher On Fighting Back Against ICE

November 11, 2025 Gwen Lee, Left Voice. Strategize! Chicago, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Schools, Teachers

Since early September, Chicago has been the latest target of the Trump administration’s brutal Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) raids. Trump has declared war on the city and threatened to send in the National Guard, — as he has done in Los Angeles and Washington, DC — with the intent of undermining what few protections exist for immigrants living in these cities and expanding federal repression against working-class and oppressed communities as a whole. Over the past two months, ICE has terrorized communities daily, including military-style raids in apartment buildings and even entering a daycare and abducting a teacher in front of her students.

Civil rights attorneys are suing the Trump administration to force the release of records detailing whether federal immigration agencies are using sophisticated Israeli spyware to track, monitor, and target immigrants and activists across the country. The lawsuit, filed on Oct. 30 in federal court by Just Futures Law and the Center for Constitutional Rights, demands that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) comply with Freedom of Information Act requests related to their contracts with tech companies Cellebrite and Paragon Solutions. Both companies have been linked to government surveillance of journalists, human rights defenders, and protesters around the world.

Lincoln Heights, CA — In the early hours on November 4, an ICE raid took place at the Cypress Park Home Depot in Lincoln Heights. After the first sweep, more agents returned to do another. Only this time, Centro CSO members and other members and organizations with the Community Self Defense Coalition had arrived to protest the ICE presence. “ICE knows time is not on their side when conducting kidnappings,” said Centro CSO member and Teamster Sam Carrera. “Within minutes there were around 50 rapid responders at the Home Depot. Some folks posted at every parking lot entrance, equipped with whistles and walkie talkie radios.
