Do read it all (just filed -- with pics!), and the NYT videos of it I linked over the weekend were devastating -- but here's a bit of it:
. . .A group of residents gathered to observe several ICE agents applying extreme physical force to protestors on a street in Evanston on Friday, October 31, 2025. There, DHS agents 1) used excessive force against multiple protestors, 2) subjecting these protestors to significant risk and harm, 3) deployed pepper spray without warning against a crowd of non-violent protestors, 4) threatened the use of excessive force against non-violent protestors, and 5) some of these agents failed to wear alphanumeric numbers and badges, in violation of this court’s TRO. . . .
One of the agents then grabbed the young man and threw him onto his back. At this point, the agent’s full weight was on top of the young man, holding him down. One of the federal agents proceeded to “grab the young man’s head and bash [it] on the street at least two times. . . .”
The agents then set off either pepper spray or mace without giving any warning to the crowd. See Exhibit 136 (Littel Decl.) at ¶35; Exhibit 138 (Brooks Decl.) at ¶ 13. During this violent interaction, the agent also did not appear to have any clearly visible identification. . . .
Damn these animals. Damn them. . . and jail them, for contempt.
