Radical Dem Governor Who Defends Illegal Aliens Signs Order Refusing J6 Prisoners From State Employment
The radical Democrat Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, appears to be setting himself up for a discrimination suit. Gov. Pritzker has been infuriating residents of Illinois over his proud defense of illegal alien criminals in his state.
Earlier this week, law enforcement officers in the state openly condemned the Democrat governor’s protection of illegal aliens. They called him out for telling sheriffs to “stop coordinating with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when undocumented criminals are released from prison. “This is unconscionable, dangerous and puts our most vulnerable citizens, our children, at risk,” Livingston County Sheriff Tony Childress told the media during a press conference on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the loose cannon governor made it even more clear that he is not fit to hold the highest office in the state with a newly signed order prohibiting January 6 political prisoners from being hired to work for the state of Illinois in any capacity.
In his letter, Pritzker refers to all of the January 6 political prisoners as “rioters,” which Americans know is just not true. A large majority of the individuals imprisoned under Joe Biden’s unjust “Justice” system were non-violent offenders. Many of them entered the doors of the Capitol, which were being held open by Capitol Police officers. This gross mischaracterization of the Jan 6 political prisoners, in and of itself, is ridiculous, coming from the state’s top official. How is the Democrat governor’s statement any different than calling a peaceful BLM protester who walked peacefully down the streets of Chicago a “violent BLM thug?”
Governor Pritzker’s letter reads:
One of my most important duties as Governor is protecting public safety in the State of Illinois. Recently, Donald Trump issued more than 1,500 clemencies and pardons for individuals who were convicted or accused of rioting at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.
These rioters attacked law enforcement officers protecting people in the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined bedrock principles of American democracy. These rioters were accused or convicted of a combination of felonies and misdemeanors, including but not limited to: violence against law enforcement officers, threats against Members of Congress, destruction of federal property, and many other crimes. These crimes attacks threatened public safety as Members of Congress, staff, and other workers who were forced to hide from the violence for hours.
I am committed to building a State workforce that upholds our shared values and delivers results for the people of Illinois. Our State workforce must reflect the values of Illinois and demonstrate honesty, integrity, and loyalty to serving the taxpayers. No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government.
The State’s Personnel Code, administered by the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) and by you as its Director, requires the rejection of candidates for State employment who have engaged in infamous or disgraceful conduct (20 ILCS 415/8b.4). To protect the integrity of our workforce and safety of our State, I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State.
Thank you for your leadership at CMS building a workforce that reflects our shared values, prioritizes public safety, and prevents these rioters from attacking the rule of law in Illinois.
Does Governor Pritzker give the same treatment to all citizens of his state who have been released from jail or pardoned? Is he trying to be sued?
Democrat Governor Pritzker’s time would be much better spent protecting his citizens from violent criminals from other countries instead of focusing on political retribution against President Trump’s supporters.
If I were a J6 protestor and lived there I would purposely apply hoping they pull this on me so I could sue them.
With Kash, maybe we’ll see a 4:30 a.m. raid at the governor’s house by the FBI, leg irons and handcuffs as he’s then deported with his mates!
Wasn’t Pritzker one of the petty tyrants who abused his emergency powers during the lockdowns?
I wonder if the US Marshals will be able to find an orange jumpsuit to fit his sorry fat ass.
Yet a murdering raping illegal will be hired.
Does this mean no govt agency can hire hunter biden or any of the pre-pardoned that biden pardoned.
What about “Ban the Box” movement. To remove the question on a resume asking if you committed a felony.
That might save Pritzker life. He'd be forced to eat prison food and might lose some weight!
Guess discrimination is okay, got it😂
Doubt any J6s would want to work for that commie
They don’t need your stinkin’ State job!!!
Pardon means the conviction never happened.
So Trump should offer them federal jobs.
Pritzker looks like he swallowed Chris Christie and Stacey Abrams whole.
Nothing but a gratuitous cheap shot.
“If I were a J6 protester and lived there I would purposely apply hoping they pull this on me so I could sue them.”
a pardon removes all legal consequences associated with a conviction ... therefore excluding folks from employment who have received a pardon is equivalent to excluding someone who has committed no crime ... FANTASTIC opportunity for lawsuits claiming violation of Illinois and Federal civil rights, and probably numerous other Illinois state laws as well ...
If not, they could just strip him and roll him in orange paint.
He was among the worst. For example if you owned a boat if you and 3 of your friends drove to the boat only 2 of you would be allowed to ride in the boat even though all 4 of you rode in the same car to get to the boat.
Bill of Attainder. Deprivation of rights under color of law.
Pritzker might find himself in prison one of these fine days.
It’s almost a given for Illinois governors.
Agreed doubt highly this can survive any court challenge, and this guy knows it. This is just all for show
Most sane people avoid the open sewer that is Illinois like the plague...
It's Chicago and the part of Illinois connected to St. Louis that are miserably hellholes.
