… #PopeLeo, originally from the #Chicago area, …has been steadily increasing his criticisms of #Trump.

…Cardinal Michael Czerny, a close advisor to Leo, said the pope is "expressing the concerns that should be in the heart of every #Christian & of every citizen."

"The Golden Rule, in other words: Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you," said Czerny.

Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.

"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

"Pope Leo's comments strengthen the resolve of those of us in the United States who remain deeply committed to welcoming the stranger," said Kerry Alys Robinson, president & CEO of Catholic Charities USA, a national federation of 168 #Catholic #charity agencies.

#PopeLeo, the first #US pope, has been ramping up his disapproval of the #Trump admin's treatment of #immigrants.

Lawyers for the #Trump admin told Ellis they plan to appeal her ruling…
Nearly a month ago, Ellis prohibited federal agents from deploying #TearGas & other #weapons against #journalists, #protesters & anyone not posing an immediate threat to #immigration enforcement agents.

Since Oct 3, federal agents have fired tear gas at Chicagoans on at least 7 occasions, along with #PepperBalls & other crowd *control* measures.

Ellis held an all-day hearing Wednesday in her courtroom at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown #Chicago where she heard from members of the #clergy, #protesters & Chicago #residents that they had been terrified by the aggressive actions of federal agents carrying out what the #Trump admin calls “Operation Midway Blitz.”

“The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters & attacked by agitators,” Ellis said Thursday before announcing her ruling. “That simply is untrue. And the government’s own evidence in this case belies that assertion.”

US District Court Judge Sara Ellis said she will issue a sweeping injunction limiting the #UseOfForce by federal #immigration agents in the #Chicago area after she found a litany of violations were committed in recent weeks.

Ellis on Thursday painstakingly detailed instances across the Chicago area in which #BorderPatrol agents used force against residents in violation of her #TRO.

In Facebook groups & on Signal chats, tens of thousands of residents regularly #crowdsource information on #immigration agents’ last-known locations, neighborhoods being targeted that day & — importantly — the license plates, makes & models of the rental cars used by agents, which can change daily.

Some #ICE-spotting Facebook pages in #Chicago have up to 50,000 members.

That hyperlocal effort, spun off into dozens of chats on social platforms, has helped create a type of zone defense that - activists say - has slowed down #immigration agents & in some cases forced them to withdraw without making an arrest.

…Over 3,000 people have been detained in #Chicago since early September, acc/to #DHS.

“We are not a violent city. This is not a war zone, & I think these guys are terrorizing us & trying to incite us,” said Conway. “We want them out. We want them to stop kidnapping our neighbors.”

#Chicago, a city of 2.7 million, has long been known as a patchwork of close-knit neighborhoods. And since the city took center stage of #Trump’s #immigration crackdown in September, those neighborhoods have mobilized against enforcement efforts, sometimes block-by-block.

The squad of agents had appeared in Lakeview last month, an upscale neighborhood dotted with dog daycares, medical spas & vegan restaurants, hopping over a gate to chase down a construction worker who was handcuffed & shoved into a vehicle.

When Courtney Conway, a 42-yr-old lifelong #Chicago resident, heard about the chase through FB groups & text message chains, she hopped on her bike to join the #protesters.

About 5 neighbors stood nearby, shouting at the agents [ #FreeSpeech] who gave verbal warnings they would deploy #TearGas. They never did.

Klim & the other man had been working on the house for a couple weeks, acc/to Brendan Ek, a neighbor across the street. “It seemed a little ridiculous, honestly. Big waste of #taxpayers’ money, if you ask me,” Ek, 30, said.
