The 2025 “This Is Fascism,” tour continues into Chicago, where video posted by Unraveled Press and other freelance reporters shows ICE’s brutality in front of the Broadview facility.
Journalist Ford Fischer’s video actually shows ICE agents attempting to “snipe” protestors from behind a fence - which I never saw while covering the unrest in Los Angeles. It does illustrate a certain point, however, that Los Angeles was a training ground for what’s happening in Chicago.
At the Metropolitan ICE facility in downtown Los Angeles, where the nightly protest continues, it took months for them to install the flood lights and fencing, which were installed just days into Chicago’s protest.
ICE is learning what works and what doesn’t - but so are the protesters.
