The 2025 Fascism Tour Lands In Chicago
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.

Crazy here. They are patrolling, and I use that word humorously, downtown today hitting all the famous photo op landmarks like Jack booted thugs. They even got themselves a little boat with armed men to patrol the famous Riverwalk in case potential targets try to kayak in from the Great Lakes. I posted pics. This removes attention from Broadview. The fence went up in a day. It crosses the public sidewalk and other public space. Broadview FD told them to take it down. They refuse.
