"Like many journalists, I’ve learned to compartmentalize and set aside my own opinions in pursuit of the facts. My experiences have also helped me connect with sources," reporter Cindy Hernandez writes. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…

Over the past few months, I’ve been covering immigration. The stories that stuck with me the most were those of first-generation kids like myself. This is my story of how I covered immigration as a daughter of immigrants. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/20…

Good afternoon. U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for today's status hearing in Illinois v. Trump, over deployment of the National Guard. A link to the complaint, for those who don't have it: cst.brightspotcdn.com/40/6a/75ba4ab8…

Federal immigration agents shot a woman Saturday morning in Brighton Park. Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10/0…

At least three people were just arrested by federal immigration agents. They then deployed several tear gas canisters.

North of where the shooting took place, another crowd of protesters is gathered. Here, there is no CPD presence and protesters tell me that federal agents deployed tear gas 10 minutes ago

I’m in Brighton Park at the scene of shooting. ICE and CPB shot a woman who was allegedly armed and blocked in agents with her vehicle. A large crowd of protesters is quickly forming.

Agents have put on gas masks while the crowd is telling them to “go home.” CPD is on scene but staying away.

Illinois State troopers and Cook County deputies were replaced by NIPAS tactical team. The Illinois Department of Transportation then showed up with cement barricades to place along the curb and block access to the roadway.

After the crowd was pushed back, CBP officers brought out several drones and videographers on scene to record what I’m thinking are DHS promo videos.

Just arrived at Broadview for another anti-ICE protest. CBP commander-at-large Greg Bovino was down on the ground near demonstrators. He was spotted earlier on the roof of the facility.
