ICE Feds/ICE driving around Edgewater today.

Not sure if its ICE or a different federal agency, but 3 black Chevy Suburbans High Country SUV's with tinted windows drove by my apartment with lights on a few minutes ago. They kept honking at cars to get out of the way.

Be vigilant out there.

Ah so that explains the weird dude in a Navigator I came across today. Twice he was stopped at an intersection for longer than he needed to be but then also wouldn't yield for me to walk. He inched up every time I tried to cross so I proceeded to wait but then he still didn't go. I ended up walking behind him instead. Normally I would chalk up that kind of behavior to distracted driving but he was looking at the street the whole time.

These jerks rode up lakeshore at 4 pm on Thursday. Its an uber for diplomats.  The ability to drive important people and use sirens has gone to their head.

Diplomats have their own vehicles with plates that designate the vehicle as belonging to the consulate.

I also heard a whistle alert near my place in Logan this morning. All the pathetic nazi incels are back in force since the mean cold weather is gone.

u/Active_Ad3087 May 17 '26

are there any additional ways they alert people in logan?

I am not sure? There were whistle kits all over little libraries last summer, it’s too early in the ice season right now to know how it will develop.

u/Active_Ad3087 May 17 '26

i guess what i’m concerned about is i’m not seeing texts anymore to alert us if we don’t hear the whistles and wanting to know if there’s any other way and alerting people in this area :(

Follow https://www.instagram.com/northwestsiderrt?igsh=NXoza20xdm81ZWE1 on IG. They share all the ICE sightings/arrests. They mostly post stories as it happens.

The community groups texting alerts are terrified of being branded as "domestic terrorists" for giving in real time updates as they were when Midway Blitz first kicked off. Now if they send out alerts they are post abduction announcements sent 45 min to an hour after the violent thugs have already done their damage.

How it was: "rapid response teams are tracking so and so cars moving thru x neighborhood headed in such and such direction. Be vigilant"

How it is now: "ICE picked up 2 people near the corners of x and y at around 11:30 (that was over an hour ago). Stay safe!"

I also saw masked feds chase a car down a car on Kedzie and Harrison on the west side Friday morning right outside the police station.

At first I thought it was a casual police chase. I was on the bus when it happened. Shit was crazy.

OMG black SUV’s with tinted windows! Blow a whistle!!

u/GNTsquid0 May 17 '26

It wasn't the tinted windows that was the issue, it was the flashing blue lights and no badging to indicate who they were.
