“I want to assure all of our families that Chicago is and will remain a sanctuary city,” Emanuel said in a statement.

That’s cool — You can do it without all those pesky federal dollars...Elections have consequences, don’t they? Where did I hear that, who said that...meh, “what difference at this point does it make.”

Federal Law Enforcement will “help” you do your job.

Many/most law enforcement officers across the country supported Trump and he vocally supported them. Wondering if the LEOs would turn illegals (especially the criminals) into ICE - perhaps there is a way to do it anonymously so they don’t get fired, lose their pensions, etc. Maybe a website where fed-up citizens could turn them in as well.

“I would HOPE and PRAY that President Trump DENIES ALL FEDERAL FUNDING TO ALL SANCTUARY ENTITIES.”

YES! Make the idiots pay for their own foolish ideas. Since Chicago is already mired in debt, how long until it completely goes under?

When the south did this to defend segregation, the press was appalled.

In some ways, this is very very good news. President Trump will know where to send his ICE agents.

Think about it. These cities also have large airports so criminal aliens can be transported away with quick dispatch.

The cities will become SAFER. Citizens of said cities will be pleased with President Trump, making the Democrat margin so much smaller in 2020.

I am not in favor of the taxpayers funding FLIGHTS - put them on a much cheaper bus trip and with armed agents on board.

A cut in federal aid may sober up these bleeding hearts.

That will get their attention every time.

Still going through the five stages of grief are they? These people can’t get past “anger”.

That should be easy to arrange - Trump will be in charge of FED ENFORCEMENT. Do not forget how Obie was able to shut Sheriff Joe completely down and then prosecute him for "crimes of discrimination"

Chicago ‘hits back,’ strips Trump of honorary street designation

Fran Spielman

Chicago aldermen on Tuesday hit Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump where it hurts — in his formidable ego — for using a spike in homicides and shootings to paint a “distorted caricature” of the city.

The City Council’s Transportation Committee unanimously agreed to strip Trump of a recognition he covets: “Trump Plaza,” the honorary designation for the east side of Wabash Avenue between Illinois Street and the Chicago River, outside the 96-story Trump International Hotel & Tower.
Promoted Stories from politicsChatter

“We can actually use his own words against him: ‘When you hit us, we hit back,’ ” said Transportation Committee Chairman Anthony Beale (9th).

“You’ve hit Chicago numerous times. . . . When you hit Chicago, Chicago hits back.”

Prior to the final vote, Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) asked whether there was any way to punish Trump more severely — by taking down the massive “TRUMP” sign that Mayor Rahm Emanuel and downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) considered so garish and tasteless they moved to rein in future signs along the river.

Reilly, who spearheaded the lesser punishment, told Burnett he would like nothing more than to resurrect that high-profile sign battle. But it would unfortunately be a futile effort.

“The signage entitlement for that big sign was negotiated before I was even elected. The city was stuck with what we’ve got. We understand Mr. Trump is a pretty litigious guy. And the Law Department was fairly certain that, if he sued, he would likely win. So we’re stuck with that sign,” Reilly said.

But Reilly urged Trump Tower tenants to do what some of their counterparts at Trump-branded buildings across the country are doing: pressure Trump to remove the “ugly” sign.

“I’d love to see it. . . . I hear that’s a trend across America. I can’t blame those folks for wanting to do it. And I’d support that effort. It’s a brand that now stands for dividing our country and using dangerous and hurtful rhetoric to separate what makes this city and this country so great,” Reilly said.

“Having to look at that, as anyone who is on our river architecture tour or traveling on Michigan Avenue [must], is simply a reminder to the people of Chicago that this is someone who doesn’t respect our city and doesn’t recognize the incredible gains that we’re making.”

As for the honorary street designation, one of the Trump Plaza signs already has been stolen. So only one more needs to be removed. That will be done post-haste, if the full City Council approves the punishment, thanks to a so-called “pending passage” letter that Beale promised to sign.

Reilly said Trump no longer deserves the honor after making political hay at Chicago’s expense in a way that has damaged the city’s reputation on the global stage.

Trump’s decision to portray Chicago as a “war zone” that needs stop-and-frisk during the first presidential debate was the final straw.

“He was comparing us to a war-torn, third-world country. That was a set of comments that didn’t just insult me. It insulted anyone who loves this great city,” Reilly said.

“Just as damaging has been Mr. Trump’s campaign rhetoric about all the great people who make up Chicago. Whether you’re a woman, an immigrant, a Latino, an African-American or someone who is disadvantaged, he’s had you in his crosshairs. For that reason, it is absolutely appropriate for us to pause a few moments from our otherwise very busy schedule . . . to remove this honor that Mr. Trump has proven he does not deserve.”

Ald. Millie Santiago (31st) commended Reilly and Ald. Proco Joe Moreno (1st) for “taking the lead.” When approached about the idea, her response was, “Where do I sign?”

“Trump doesn’t deserve any respect on the particular idea of glorifying his name. He is, to me, a national disgrace,” Santiago said.

In December 2010, Trump contributed $50,000 to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and $5,000 to Reilly.

That was two years after the opening of Trump Tower with the vanity sign touting the Trump brand.

On Tuesday, Reilly was asked about the hypocrisy of accepting Trump’s money, only to bite the hand that feeds him.

He promised, once again, to send the money to back.

“I will be doing that on Nov. 9, the day after the election — so Mr. Trump can’t spend it,” Reilly said.

THE BROTHERS EMANUEL

Two of our country's biggest leftists, subversives and architects of destruction...."The Brothers Emanuel"....Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (architect of Obamacare, he's presently all over the tube spreading lies, hate and division)....and Mayor Rahm Emanuel (architect of Chicago's sanctuary city and architect of the Chicago South Side Killing Fields).

Democrats suck at poker. Bluffing Trump will not turn out well.

........I think that this is what BO tried to pull in the 90 minute meeting...don’t undo my EO’s or I will burn the country down.....all of this that is going on now?

Obama/Soros Foreplay....flexing their muscles to let Trump know they will try to burn the country down.

I say...have at it.....because all of their behavior takes place in liberal cities with gun restrictions.

Let’em try that in Wyoming or Texas.....Notice how those types of disruptions never happen in Red Cities?

Cut off federal funding to California, to Chicago, to NYC, and to all other areas with sanctuary policies. It would be a small start toward balancing the budget.

You are not defying Trump. You are defying the will of the people, the law and common sense. But once you start feeling it in the pocketbook I bet some common snese returns!
