Just hours after reports that embattled Democratic Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard was under investigation by the FBI, multiple local businesses were said to be raided by local police.
On Tuesday, FOX 32 reported that six individuals have spoken to the FBI about Henyard’s conduct, including business owners, a former village employee and one or more public officials. One complained of difficulties renewing his business license, claiming to suffer from harassment, a raid on his business and being shut down by Dolton police. The U-Haul rental and trucking business owner believed it was retaliation after he refused to donate to a civic event sponsored by Henyard.
FOX 32 reported Wednesday that multiple bars in the town were raided by police the day after the news team visited the businesses amid allegations their licenses were being held up for political reasons. The raids reportedly occurred mere hours after FOX 32’s report about the alleged FBI investigation into Henyard’s conduct was released.
"Someone seen you go in there. And then two hours after your story aired, the police are at both of these establishments," said Tammie Brown, a Dolton trustee, told FOX 32.
Brown went on to suggest that the raids were done as a warning to other businesses: "I'm sure that they were asked to donate, make a donation, and most likely they didn't make a donation. So you don't get a chance to stay open if you don't pay the queen's ransom."
"They just rushed in here. Put police at the front door like they were doing a raid on a drug house or something," Sevone Garfield, the security director of Pablo's Cafe and Bar, said.

Sounds like extortion or the old protection money racket.
If true, “Tiffany” should be sentenced to no less than 30 years of hard labor.
“hell hath no fury like a politician scorned”
Especially black grifting ones.
I am bothered by Mayor Henyard‘s behavior. But I am way more bothered by the behavior of the Dolton police. The mayor gives an illegal and immoral order. The Dolton police jump right to it.
I guess there is no one in that police department willing to say, “That is an illegal order. I will not obey it.”
Unfortunately, that’s the norm these days. Just obey.
“If true, “Tiffany” should be sentenced to no less than 30 years of hard labor”
And add a minimum the police chief as well.
Don’t even ask Boo Boo, yep.
Make that 💯 years.
It is.
Yes, just ask Obeyme.
And anyone else who aided and abetted them.
Bingo!
These business owners will be brought up on charges at some point after BLM goons protest and burn down their establishments.
Per Wikipedia, the demographics of Dolton are 90% black. Not that would be a factor in this instance of course.
A pox on the scumbag cops who act as this bitch’s personal goon squad! Another example of why ending modern policing and restoring Constitutional carry rights is the best way to preserve liberty.
Theft, grift, strong-arm tactics, etc. - where did they learn that?
