The Battle Of Chicago Has Begun

Federal agents and ICE officers carried out a targeted immigration enforcement action in Chicago on September 19, 2025, sparking major clashes with protesters. Demonstrators blockaded the perimeter of a federal immigration facility, leading to non-lethal crowd control measures such as tear gas and sting balls after warnings were ignored. At least one arrest was made, while additional videos showed tires slashed on ICE vehicles and even a congressional candidate being thrown to the ground during the confrontation. The operation, part of “Operation Midway Blitz,” highlights growing tensions between federal immigration enforcement and sanctuary city policies. Federal officials argue that Chicago’s refusal to cooperate with ICE undermines public safety, while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused the Trump administration of fear-mongering and authoritarian tactics. Public opinion remains divided, with some residents supporting strict immigration enforcement while others see the federal presence as government overreach.

The aftermath of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination continues to dominate U.S. politics and culture, with new developments fueling debate nationwide. In Congress, 58 House Democrats—including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib—voted against a resolution honoring Kirk’s life, while 310 members, including many Democrats, supported it. Speaker Mike Johnson criticized those who opposed the measure, calling it “shameful” to refuse recognition of someone murdered for his political beliefs. The decision has deepened partisan divides and reignited discussions about how America responds to political violence. At the same time, a Starbucks controversy went viral after a California barista allegedly refused to print “Charlie Kirk” on a cup, with one order even returned labeled “loser.” Starbucks later issued a statement clarifying no such restrictions exist, but the incident has fueled accusations of corporate censorship. Meanwhile, Turning Point USA’s planned stop at Colorado State University became a massive memorial rally, with over 7,400 attendees honoring Kirk in Fort Collins. The event featured speeches, chants, and tributes, underscoring Kirk’s influence and galvanizing conservative activism even in traditionally liberal areas.

The media world is also reeling from fallout surrounding the suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” following Kimmel’s controversial comments about Kirk’s assassination. ABC indefinitely pulled the late-night show after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called Kimmel’s remarks unacceptable and warned of potential regulatory action. Nexstar Media Group quickly dropped the program, and videos even showed ABC hauling away the show’s set. The suspension sparked immediate reactions from across the entertainment industry, with Jimmy Fallon commenting on the case and Stephen Colbert declaring “we are all Jimmy Kimmel.” Liberal activists have also protested outside Disney headquarters, while conservatives, including Donald Trump, celebrated the move as accountability for biased media. Hollywood unions like SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild have warned that the case represents a dangerous precedent for creative speech and political satire, placing free expression, corporate responsibility, and media bias at the center of public debate.
