The Battle For Chicago – Antifa Wants Real Revolution
AND Magazine ^ | 27 Sep, 2025 | Sam Faddis

In war, the enemy gets a vote. They make plans too. Just because you have decided on a course of action and want a particular result does not mean your opponent is required to cooperate.

Witness what is happening in Chicago right now. President Trump has declared Antifa a terrorist organization and promised to destroy the nationwide networks that feed it and help it organize. In and of itself, that means nothing. Until this “crackdown” starts to produce concrete results, Antifa remains alive and well and is fighting back. Its immediate target is Chicago, where Antifa forces have encircled the Broadview ICE detention facility.

“Today, over 200 rioters blocked access to one of the gates in front of the Broadview Processing Center, and another 30 have swarmed another gate and are attempting to forcibly and illegally trespass on federal property. Rioters arrived with boxes of fireworks, N95 masks, gas masks, goggles, knee and elbow protection, and large quantities of food and water. These lawless rioters began chanting “Arrest ICE, Shoot ICE,” and one of the rioters was apprehended with a gun, and it was confiscated by law enforcement.”

Department of Homeland Security Press Release

The federal government called on Illinois Governor Pritzker to condemn the riots and call for their end. Pritzker is unlikely to help. He says that ICE is transforming the United States into Nazi Germany. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls ICE “secret police” who “are terrorizing our communities.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi said late Friday she had ordered Justice Department agents to guard Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and directed counterterrorism task forces to look into attacks against federal authorities. What exactly that means and what DOJ forces we are talking about remains unclear.

“At my direction, I am deploying DOJ agents to ICE facilities—and wherever ICE comes under siege—to safeguard federal agents, protect federal property, and immediately arrest all individuals engaged in any federal crime,” Bondi wrote on X.

Antifa does not appear intimidated. The Anarchist News, a leftist propaganda site, is calling for “all anarchists across the country” to disrupt operations at ICE facilities in every city.

“We invite all anarchists across the country not only to occupy and disrupt operations at ICE facilities in every city, but to celebrate life with fire against the death march of American law and order. With tactical diversity, let’s meet in the streets and wage a carnival of war against ICE and all authority!”

A Call for Anarchist Action in America

The Anarchist site Crimethinc has begun to publish updates from the Broadview action much as it did during the riots in American cities during the first Trump administration. These updates not only help motivate Antifa forces they also provide strategic direction and focus.

“The processing center in Broadview holds roughly 150 prisoners at any given time; it serves as a hub for ICE activity across the Midwest. Higher-capacity ICE detention centers are illegal in Illinois, making the location a logistical chokepoint in the transportation of prisoners. As federal resources for this center have ballooned to satisfy far-right politicians’ desire for xenophobic violence, the Broadview location has become increasingly important as a critical piece of infrastructure.”

The “protesters” outside Bridgewater calling for the deaths of ICE agents are not random individuals who just happened to be there. They are members of a highly organized collective directed there as part of a nationwide strategic effort to prevent the federal government from carrying out its goals.

Running throughout the posts from Bridgewater and through Antifa communications nationwide is this theme. This is now all-out war. The time for symbolic actions has passed. It is time to commit. Implicit in all this is the real bottom line.

It is time to kill. It is time for a real revolution.

“If the courage we are seeing is to escape specialized and repetitious clashes with better-equipped state forces, it will need to forgo media spectacle to take more proactive efforts against deportation infrastructure. We need to define what it would mean to achieve victory over the state’s agents and facilities and articulate the fight for liberation that underlies the shift towards more generalized confrontation with the representatives of the state and capital.”

A rather small group of people who can’t decide what sex they are aren’t going to overthrow the USA.

If that is not a clear violation of sedition, I don’t know what is. If ANTFA can arm itself, it will be up against a militia never seen before.

They can get their desire, but they won’t like the result of their “revolution”.
Trump will send then straight to hell where they belong.

--- "Antifa Wants Real Revolution"

Always has, and in many nations, irrespective of some views that today's "antfia" isn't yesterday's "antifa."

I thought all the Far-Left potato heads are saying Trantifa doesn’t exist that it is only an idea. How can an idea fight a war? The left is doing way too many drugs. No wonder they are worried about all of their drug dealers and sources being thrown out of America.

ANTIFA has been a leftist/Democrat side-show for years. In my view, now that Trump is putting REAL pressure on leftist funding and organization with elimination of things like USAID, vast “education” grants, etc... ANTIFA is being thrown into the battle full time.

Very little thought or commentary has been given to their command and control structure - and who ultimately commands them?

I would like to see this information.

Illinois politicians ARE the terrorists. Nowhere are the Democrat Socialists operating with clean hands. They are dirty up to their ear lobes.

Lots of rhetoric by the left trying to relabel anarchy as something more fun sounding.

Not buying it.

That’s the end game.

I’m not surprised.

Back in the day, the KGB poured a lot of money into the Chicongo AO and lit up a lot of “Black backlash”

Today, the funds come from the billionaire boys club with much assistance of the mass media. Ya get what ya pays for as they saying gos.

Seize the assets of the NGOs paying for this, lock up the management and enforce the current RICO laws against the boys club and I think you’ll see a lot of this go to ground.

This is a fevered dream, of course, given the wack jobs that pass for judges these days.

I thought they said Antifa wasn’t an organization, just an idea.

There’s a reason the phrase “all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC” is included in pledges to defend the Constitution and Republic. The Tree of Liberty has grown parched.

I propose operation “Now Youse Can’t Leave”. ICE takes over the building on each side of their Main ICE physical location / driveway. When ICE turns into the street and the Antifa riots starts, the National Guard in the buildings to the left and right come out and seals off any escape for Antifa. The “Now Youse Can’t Leave” trap is sprung and then just arrest with extreme prejudice.
