Man tracks stolen iPhone to migrant in Chicago police station lobby; charges filed
CWB Chicago ^ | 7/30/23 | staff

Posted on 07/30/2023 10:12:54 AM PDT by CFW

CHICAGO — When a man’s backpack went missing from the UIC outdoor field complex on July 15, he fired up the tracker on an iPhone in the bag and started following the pings. They led him directly to the lobby of the Near West (12th) District Chicago police station, 1412 South Blue Island. That’s about a half-mile from where the bag went missing.

Now, you might be thinking that a kind soul found his bag and gave it to the police to arrange its return. But, no. That’s not what happened.

Diversity is our strength. "Migrants" just want to come here to work.

No, that's not what happened. Not at all. Our country is being invaded. We are being invaded by military-aged men who I fear will eventually be instructed to attack and destroy our nation at the direction of those who are bringing them in by the hundreds of thousands. That's why the deep state is working so hard to out-law the possession of firearms.

“Illegal immigrant”

That’s politically incorrect.

I call them invaders.

Yes, our society is collapsing around us through invasion and impotent law enforcement.

The migrant was probably there to apply to be a police officer:

The Syrians that have invaded Europe are mainly draft dodgers.

I suspect a majority of Free Republic posters have had US military training. A large percentage have fought in war.

Illinois Governor Signs Bill Allowing Foreign Nationals To Become Police Officers!
Daily Wire ^ | July 29, 2023 | Leif Le Mahieu

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) condemned the bill earlier this year after it passed in the state House.

“What message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the enforcers of our laws?” the group said in a statement. “This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get.”

During debate on the bill, Illinois state Sen. Chapin Rose (R) said it would be a “fundamental breach” of democracy to allow non-citizens to arrest American citizens.

“It’s just a fundamentally bad idea,” Rose said in May. “I don’t care where this individual is from. Australia — they should not be able to arrest a United States citizen on United States soil.”

Am I the only one who had to check whether the one arrested was the thief or the man whose backpack had been stolen. Maybe he was harassing the local "wildlife"?

Inside the bag, the man allegedly found an identification belonging to Miguel Blanco Blanco, a 26-year-old migrant resident of the station lobby.

So the illegal is living in the police lobby and so cocky that he brings his stolen items "home".

A sign of the times: I saw the headline mentioning a victim tracking his stolen phone, Chicago, and “charges filed,” and clicked it to see if the perp or the victim was charged. SMH
