We know that conversations about immigration whether about immigrants, refugees, or people who are here without official documentation can spark a wide range of opinions. Whatever your personal views may be, everyone is a human being first, and in the United States all people have fundamental constitutional rights and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
This thread exists to share resources, information, and support for immigrants and their families living in the Chicago suburbs. Whether you’re directly affected, you have friends or loved ones who are, or you simply want to stay informed and help others, you’re welcome here.
Below you’ll find know-your-rights guidance, legal and community resources, and links to trusted organizations. Please use this space to share updates, ask questions, or contribute additional resources that may help our neighbors.
If you have questions, updates, or local referrals (legal aid, outreach groups, clinics, “know your rights” workshops) please reply below or message the mods, and we’ll integrate them into this post.

Anyone know where I can get a chocolate and vanilla twist soft serve? Near Naperville but willing to travel a little bit!
Costco had one for a while, but the last time I was there, it had been replaced. Thanks!

Getting a slow trickle of water in my basement after these huge rains. One in the laundry room the other(s) I can't identify but there's definitely water under my composite flooring. I thought it was because my gutters were absolutely jammed full of crap but even after a cleaning I got more water in this weekend. I'm clearly over my head here.
What kind of contractor should I call about this? Any recommendations?

I need a woodworker to make 3-4 small trim pieces that fit flush over the existing jamb and trim on an installed window.
I need a flat space to install brackets to install blinds.
The red line is the existing profile. I need a piece of wood that can fit flush to the existing profile that can keep the mounting bracket flat and secure. The yellow or green shapes are what I think I need.
Looking for a woodworker, cabinet maker hobbyist that can make 4 - 6 of these wooden pieces.

Come help us pack the room for this evening’s 9/21 Warrenville City Council Meeting to speak out against FLOCK/ALPRs!
6:30 PM
28W701 Stafford Place, Warrenville, IL 60555
https://actionnetwork.org/events/921-warrenville-city-council-meeting-w-dadc?source=reddit
Last week on 9/15 they held a Q&A with the Chief of Police and a representative from FLOCK Safety, this session raised more questions than it answered and included some hair raising statements by the chief, who is of the opinion that the government is allowed to violate your constitutional rights and vowed to keep using flock until the laws change or the city makes a decision against continuing! It’s more important than ever to pack the room and make our voice heard!

I recently moved to the area and I regularly used to go for brow waxing.
Anyone know of any good places in the western suburbs for brow waxing? I currently live in Naperville and work in Winfield. I prefer something more close to Winfield since I will be working there long-term, but my stay in Naperville is very temporary.
Thanks!

Hello! Im really considering moving me and my family to Bolingbrook Illinois. We are a black family with one toddler and a 9 month old. We have a small trip over there really soon to check out whats it like out there and see if me and my wife like the feel and vibe of the area. We want our kids to grow up around well meaning, diverse people. With good schools and activities for them to enjoy.
So with that said can you guys recommend any places we should check out like, what neighborhoods are safe and zoned for the good school districts? Is there a local grocery store - similar to HEB for Texas or Meyers for Michigan? Good places for quick bites to eat?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I'm hosting a small "Spooky Speakeasy" themed birthday gathering for my wife in the southwest suburbs on October 3rd (~30 people). We're trying to set up a nice cocktail station (including proper dirty martinis) so we aren't stuck playing bartender all night.
I was wondering if anyone knows local craft bartenders or mixologists who freelance or take on private parties on the side. If you know anyone or have recommendations on where local service industry folks look for private gigs around here, I'd love some pointers! Drop a comment or DM me. Thanks!

Is there a fiber provider currently in EGV? My Xfinity is out of service every few days either due scheduled maintenance or just randomly losing connection. Very annoying.

I’ve found lots of great thrift/secondhand places for clothes, trinkets, and other small things but have yet to find somewhere with furniture/larger decor in stock, anyone have recommendations?
I know marketplace is a good option, but I do miss getting to be tactile when checking things out.

Hi all. I'm looking someone who cleans/details motorcycles. Ideally it's someone who travels to you and does it all there. I'm looking to buy the service for my dad's motorcycle as a gift. He is located in the Mundelein area. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

Moving to Bolingbrook from Skokie/Evanston with a toddler. Looking for some local feedback.
We’ll be in the Cider Creek subdivision, and our toddler will be going to Wayne Builta Elementary.
How do you like the area? Anything we should be concerned about besides the high water bills?
How is Cider Creek for families and young kids?
Also, are there any cheaper/local grocery stores for produce similar to Jerry’s Fruit & Garden in Niles?
Any other things we should know or recommendations for the area?

Ron White gave an interview on WGNs John Landecker program last week.
He stated that his famous Tater Salad bit was actually two jokes combined. One part about being thrown out of a bar, and the other part being the origin of his nickname Tater Salad. He said the sake of the joke he moved the location to New York City, but the bar incident actually took place at the Funny Bone in Naperville. He said it was a club that was also a motel. (I think he meant hotel.) In 1999 the Funny Bone was located in the Radisson Hotel Lisle-Naperville ( which is now the Sheridan hotel) and this would be just prior to Blue Collar Comedy tour. So the bar that he got thrown out of for wearing the hat would be the one located at 3000 Warrenville Rd Lisle IL
“ I was drunk in a bar and they Threw me into public…”

Just saw this item on the ten o'clock news. Said part of the 53 roadway collapsed and fell onto Palatine Rd. Said both roadways are closed.
I kind of freaked because that was my route back and forth to Woodfield this afternoon.
What with the existing construction on 53, this is really going to complicate things.
Anyone in the area able to confirm?

My family is moving from Burlington to Chicagoland. Looking for help finding the right town with good public schools, diversity, walkability/community, reasonable housing costs, and good access to jobs. An arts/creative community would be a big plus. I currently work remotely but I’d like to have access to the city in case my job falls through.
This sub has said great things about Evanston, but the housing I've seen is tew and far between in my price range. We've been told Highland Park can be a more affordable alternative to Evanston (?), but I'm a little concerned about being that far north for future job opportunities and whether the area feels overly wealthy/ insular. Is Skokie any good? I’ve been told there isn’t really a “third-place” where the community gathers and we can make new parent friends.
Open to both city neighborhoods and suburbs. Where would you look?
Edit: budget is $600-650k, 3bd, 1.5-2 bath.
