Gov. Pritzker Defines Tipping Off ICE as Illegal ‘Discrimination”
Front Page Magazine ^ | 01/22/2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Landlord who tipped off ICE about illegal alien gang members faces investigation.

The ‘sanctuary’ for illegal alien criminals movement began with radical activists harboring them in ‘churches’. That escalated to ordering law enforcement not to cooperate with immigration authorities. And from there sanctuary states like California began to penalize any law enforcement personnel who cooperated with ICE.

Then came the riots, systemic harassment of immigration law enforcement personnel being coordinated from the top down, and now, in the next step, legal threats against American citizens who cooperate with ICE.

Remember this massive raid on a hive of TdA gang members in Chicago?

Hundreds of federal agents carried out a “targeted immigration enforcement operation” early Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois, against suspected Tren de Aragua gang members.

The FBI confirmed the operation to FOX32 Chicago, noting that its agents assisted the U.S. Border Patrol in the city’s South Shore neighborhood. The operation — which involved almost 300 agents — targeted six people associated with the Venezuelan gang, according to Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin.

Footage captured overnight showed agents converging on an apartment building in the area. At one point, a helicopter dropped snipers down onto the building’s roof.

Two dozen people were taken into custody.

Here comes the payback.

The Illinois Department of Human Rights announced late Wednesday that it filed a formal housing discrimination charge and opened an investigation into the owners and managers of the building: 7500 Shore A LLC, Trinity Flood, and Strength in Management LLC.

In a statement, the agency said it is looking into claims the landlords let federal agents know of Venezuelan immigrants living in the building as part of an attempt to “intimidate and coerce the building’s Black and Hispanic tenants into leaving the building.”

Gov. JB Pritzker, in a statement, said the allegations “raise serious concerns for people struggling to maintain housing — and the communities that have been profiled and relentlessly targeted by the federal government during its violent immigration enforcement operations. State law prohibits discrimination, and that includes aiding or abetting conduct intended to interfere with housing and civil rights. Illinois will not tolerate conduct that puts anyone in Illinois at risk of discrimination or harm.”

To be clear about what’s going on here, the Pritzker regime in Illinois has decided to define cooperation with federal law enforcement as a form of illegal discriminatory conduct that it can penalize.

After demonstrating that landlords can be penalized for tipping off ICE, then it’ll be the turn of other small businesses, and then finally cooperating with ICE will be deemed a ‘hate crime’.

We can’t have sanctuary states and cities. We can’t have legal systems at war with each other in this way. States cannot criminalize cooperation with federal law enforcement. That was always in the treason and sedition range. We’re now blowing past that into a slow motion civil war in which states try to intimidate their citizens into refusing to cooperate with the federal government.

Federal “Witness intimidation” and “Obstruction of Justice” charges for every Illinois politician and bureaucrat involved. Make it a RICO case for extra fun.

The governor is involved in insurrection—seeking to nullify federal immigration law.

The Trump administration needs to step up to the plate here—denial and/or inaction is not a winning strategy.

Once you understand they are protecting their voting block and adding “numbers” to the census to increase their representatives in Congress you know why they are doing this.

What Pritzker is doing is 100% treason. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy. He needs to be dragged in front of a military tribunal, tried and then executed as an example to what MUST happen to ALL traitors. No exception.

It would therefore be racist to call 911 if a person who looks like a liberal is being raped.

It would cause discomfort to other races that might want to commit that same crime, if police were brought in.

So, please, be sure to never call or help liberals having crime happen to them.

Criminals like the Democrats always have reasons for their crimes.

They are still criminals—their reasons are irrelevant.
