Heidi Li FeldmanA super-militarized ICE is getting more and more violent. After assaulting a musician playing the theme from “Ghostbusters”, ICE took her out of Oregon, to Washington state, where she remains in jail. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/portland-ice-clarinet-arrested-protest-b2845329.html 1/
In Chicago today, federal agents intentionally rammed a car they were pursuing, causing the car to crash. The agents tear-gassed protesters who gathered at the scene of the crash. Do review the photos in this excellent reporting from Chicago Sun-Times. https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/2025/10/14/crash-involving-immigration-agents-in-east-side-leads-to-tear-gas-detentions 2/
Feds ram SUV after chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd
The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N in the East Side neighborhood. Two men being pursued were arrested as were two bystanders. The crash drew dozens of neighbors who protested the tactics of immigration agents.
I’m sure that the Trump regime will soon invoke the Insurrection Act, despite the fact that it is the proximate cause of the violence it will use to justify doing so. 3/
Here’s what is significant about the Insurrection Act. It temporarily suspends the Posse Comitatus rule and allows the president to deploy the military to assist civilian authorities with law enforcement. See https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/252. 4/
Mark@heidilifeldman Good thread. But I gotta say, it’s kinda f’d up that the law.Cornell.edu web site is showing me ads for lawyers in my area. DUI lawyers and such. Can’t major universities’ websites stand on the merits of their institutions?
@MarkBrigham Cornell doesn’t fund LII, though it provides resources like hosting the site. More info at https://about.law.cornell.edu/2024/11/21/why-does-lii-ask-for-donations/
@heidilifeldman that makes sense
