ICE Accountability
Yesterday, an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, MN. This is a horrific tragedy and we're heartbroken for Renee Nicole Good's family and community. Sadly, we have seen this before. In September, Silverio Villegas González, a father of two with no criminal record, was shot and killed by ICE in Franklin Park, IL after dropping his kids off at school. Countless others have been kidnapped, detained, deported, brutalized, and killed by ICE. We demand full accountability and prosecution of those responsible.
Documenting the illegal actions of ICE is essential to accountability. We encourage neighbors to join us at the CCPSA meeting tonight as well as the Illinois Accountability Commission meetings:
Today at 6:30pm, the Community Commission for Public Safety & Accountability is holding a Special Meeting regarding CPD interactions with ICE at Thalia Hall (1807 S Allport St). You can submit public comments in person at the meeting or by email at communitycommissionpubliccomment@cityofchicago.org.
In October, Governor Pritzker formed the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record of the conduct of federal agents during “Operation Midway Blitz.” The first meeting was held on December 18, 2025 and 48th ward neighbors participated in public comment documenting incidents in our ward.
ICE is not welcome in our community; we are committed to continuing to build ICE-Free Zones at the City, County, and State levels. Today and everyday, we stand in solidarity with our neighbors regardless of origin or documentation status. We know that it's us—not outside forces who rely on profiling and bullying—who keep us safe.
Visit our blog for more information on how to get involved and access printable resources. You can also visit our office at 1129 W Bryn Mawr any time we're open to pick up window signs (pictured above), flyers, whistles, and more. In moments like this, fear is real, but so is our power when we stand together. Please continue to share information with our office, and do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
