Attention DePaul University donors! Do you want to check out how your funding is being put to use? The institution just initiated an obnoxious, new anti-ICE journalism institute in partnership with radical ex-Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot and another Chicago-based left-wing group financed by some of the most notorious leftists in American politics.
The supposedly Catholic DePaul — which sits comfortably on a roughly $1.15 billion endowment — announced that it was launching the cringely-named Institute for Journalism and Racial Justice (IJRJ) during a February 25 campus event, according to student newspaper The DePaulia.
The announcement came following a “community briefing for a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountability platform led by” Lightfoot. Who held Lightfoot accountable? The Firearm Industry Trade Association panned Lightfoot's tenure as Mayor in 2023 as being tainted by some of “the worst criminal and gang violence in memory.” Chicagoans reported a 43 percent crime increase in 2022 above pre-pandemic levels under her administration. But apparently, DePaul sees the former Democrat mayor as its guiding “Lightfoot.”
“DePaul launches new journalism institute aligned with Lightfoot ICE initiative,” read the headline by DePaulia editor-in-chief Sofia Joseph and content managing editor Laura Vázquez David. Also telling was that the anti-ICE “community briefing” with Lightfoot was moderated by former ABC News Nightline correspondent Chris Bury, who has since become the senior journalist-in-residence at DePaul. Per The Depaulia, “In describing how racial justice comes into play at [her] ICE accountability project, Lightfoot” told Bury that “it is ‘fundamentally a part of where we are.’”

ex-Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot Once made the claim that she had the biggest dick in Chicago.
“Racial justice” =
Anti white hate.
That fits them since there is no such thing as “racial justice”. Justice is just like “perfect”, there are no modifiers for it.
Discarded food ends up in a garbage dump. Discarded Democrats end up in a cushy job somewhere elsewhere.
💰
Funny how that works.
DePaul University anti law wonder what they have to hide?.
Things are done for a reason.
Propaganda masks used for a reason.
Lightfoot. Friggin loons don’t die. They always just show up.
But in the contest, the Prixster proved that his was a foot wider.
Of course. What else would Lori Lightfoot do? She is completely unemployable other than in a job like this.
She got her own communist color revolution operation center paid for with money looted from the US Treasury.
When Halloween comes around, she can get a job scaring the children.
Another good ol Catholic entity destroying Christianity one institution at a time.
Hey Pope. Tear down those walls aroung Vatican City and let those turds camp out at the piazza.
True.
Another fake Catholic school.likr Notre Dame
Lori Lightfoot keeps bobbing back to the swamp’s oily surface, like a piece of driftwood.
Yawn. Just another looting scheme for unemployed, connected leftists.
