Hey folks,
I went live with Rachel Cohen, a Chicago-based attorney and activist who’s been putting her body on the line taking on ICE. This one hit home for both of us — ICE tear-gassing Chicago streets, DOJ indicting Illinois activists and elected officials, and what real solidarity looks like in our city and beyond.
Here’s where to jump in 👇
[00:04:20] ICE shows up near my son’s school — how neighbors built rapid-response Signal chats, “whistle kits,” and a parents’ safety net overnight.
[00:10:06] Rachel on Broadview: why an Illinois processing center is being used as detention, what civil disobedience looks like on the ground, and the human conditions inside.
[00:16:43] The indictments: Kat Abughazaleh and others charged after an ICE blockade — selective prosecution, lawfare, and why Chicago won’t take the bait.
[00:29:00] Where are the lawyers? Big Law’s retreat from Trump-era challenges and the chilling effect on movement defense — plus why the National Lawyers Guild matters.
[00:41:00] My immigration framework: secure the border, fast track a humane path to citizenship, crack down on billionaire exploitation, and invest in stability across America.
