WTF Happened in Chicago?!?
Status Coup producer Michelle Dao reports on a WILDLY ILLEGAL weekend in Chicago as Trump's invasion of the Windy City worsens. We've been reporting ON-THE-GROUND there for over 2 weeks.
***Status Coup has been ON THE GROUND reporting in Chicago on Trump’s ICE Invasion for over two weeks. This takes A LOT of resources. Support out INDEPENDENT reporting for as low as $5 bucks a month***
If you have nine minutes today to watch just one video, I’d encourage you to watch this terrific recap video (above)—produced by Status Coup producer Michelle Dao—that showcases our JT Cestkowski and Jon Farina’s in-the-trenches ON THE GROUND reporting in Chicago as Trump turns it into a domestic war zone. They have both shown you the out of control, and illegal, violence being perpetrated by Trump’s ICE and border patrol agents against unarmed, peaceful protesters. Our reporter and cameraman have both been tear gassed by ICE multiple times and have been pulling 16-hour days to show you the ugly face of rising authoritarianism spreading in America.
We want to stay ON THE GROUND reporting in Chicago—and potentially headed next to Portland to cover Trump’s invasion there—but need to grow our PAID MEMBERSHIP in order to stay on the ground. It is expensive to pay reporters, cameramen, producers, editors, and travel costs (flight, hotel, rent-a-car, food, etc).

Everytime the counter protesters decide that they're going to go to where ICE is, they NEED TO call the police department ahead of time, and let them know what's going to happen. That way they can show up , & hopefully assist. But at the very least get in between the ICE "agents" & those protesting
