In Evanston: a last-minute protest against ICE, called just a couple hours ago, draws dozens of people to Oakton Street near where two people were abducted in front of a Home Depot yesterday. I need to run to cover City Council, but more people are still arriving.

This was after a car crash involving at least one fed vehicle and one resident vehicle. Evanston PD showed up shortly after the above incident and the feds took off. Pics from the scene from Margo Milanowski:

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:
"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

one major takeaway I've gotten from covering ICE here in Evanston, IL is that the paranoia runs very, very young. elementary schoolers as young as 9 have been keeping tabs on immigration activity. one of the first reports of Halloween-day activity at Asbury & Oakton came from a 6th grader.

In Chicago, we were fortunate to get screenings of "No Other Land" at the Chicago International Film Festival and the Music Box.
"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.
