Riverside police are searching for a person who has distributed letters directing residents to vacate their homes.
Several residents in the Cook County suburb have reported seeing a male suspect giving out letters claiming to be from Governor J.B. Pritzker.
The letter tells the property owner that their home has been selected to be taken over by the government as a part of the 2023 Homeless Housing Directive.

I do wonder what the real purpose of this letter is?
—
It is a political prank (something the left does well while conservatives not so much). This would be from the right side of the divide.
“It is remarkable how they can block out any thoughts of consequence.”
Isn’t that the truth? That’s a big part of Victor Davis Hanson’s latest podcast — how could they NOT see what defunding the police would do to crime in inner cities? How could they NOT see BLM for the grift and graft it really was and how they took the money and disappeared?
I’m constantly flabbergasted about how they cannot forecast ANY consequences of their actions.
“Or it could be an attempt to steal homes.”
*************
Before long it will be like shop lifting. Home theft won’t be a crime if the house is valued less than $500K. (That protects the elites from having their homes stolen.)
Yep. As Governor Dinwiddie said in #8, “This year’s prank is next year’s law.”
One day soon the letters may be for real in that rotted city.
I’m constantly flabbergasted about how they cannot forecast ANY consequences of their actions.

Acknowledging consequences puts them at risk of admitting they might be wrong. Since they are intellectually and morally superior to us they can’t do that. When you develop that kind of elitist mindset whatever it is you want has to be good and right, and anyone who suggests otherwise is obtuse and ignorant. That’s how they roll.
and hilly clinton thinks conservatives need re-education camps?
Probing to measure responses. Not all fake things are entirely fake.
Yet they keep pretending it will work and preaching that to the hoi polloi. They are like Dorothy clicking the ruby slippers.
They eventually reach a point where they simply can no longer ignore truth and quietly repudiate their wrong-headed, stubborn, infantile beliefs. Just look at the very quiet re-start of building the wall on the Mexican border.
Lol. Sadly, some liberals will jump on the chance and feel honored.
This looks like trolling from someone who might think of themselves as a "right-wing conservative". It is intended to generate outrage and publicity.
"All good fun until somebody pokes an eye out with that thing", as my aunt used to say.
But you can absolutely bet that there is draft legislation in a desk drawer somewhere that would specify how government could seize "unoccupied residential properties" and use them to house illegal immigrants. It is just waiting for the appropriate crisis to happen as a justification so such a bill can be introduced to the legislature and passed into law.
These things must be stomped flat every time they come up. The leftists never stop trying.
“Just look at the very quiet re-start of building the wall on the Mexican border.”

I think this is nothing but a head fake to counter the growing PR problem. In actuality, they will do nothing to slow down the invasion. They simply don’t want to.
And the letters said, “You can fit thirteen families into this house!”
Coming soon . . . for real!
That is exactly my thought.
Someone wants the owners out so they can squat and then they are there to stay.
“Someone wants the owners out so they can squat and then they are there to stay.”
Yep. And being good Cook County libs, somebody will no doubt think “They are right. I have too much room and they need it more than me. I’ll let them in. I can go stay at a motel or an AirBnB for a while.”
Somebody has their number!
Would have targeted only dem/leftist homes, which is easy to do. Look for Biden stickers on vehicles, Ukrainian flags on homes and other signage that indicates their political beliefs.
I’m thinking it was done to test the waters, then could be laughed off as a joke.
NOTICE OF OFFICIAL DIRECTIVE TO SURRENDER PROPERTYApologizing for the "financial inconvenience" and signing off "Respectfully" are nice touches!October 1, 2023
Dear Owner of ______________ in the City/Village/Town of [Riverside]
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that, per the 2023 Homeless Housing Directive [illegible] the State of Illinois Governor’s office, the ownership of your house has been taken over by the State of Illinois. At the beginning of every fiscal year, we randomly select four houses within the state for property takeover in order to house homeless immigrant or refugee families. Your house is one of four properties that we have taken over for free.
At this time, you are hereby ordered to give away your house to us, the State of Illinois and have 14 days to move out (until _____________ at ________ AM/PM). Refusal to obey this directive or continuing to remain on this property after the specified date/time is a misdemeanor violation of 720 ILCS 5/19-4 (a) 1 - Trespassing, and if you do not comply with this directive, you will be arrested as the above-specified address is now state property. The Illinois State Police will arrive at the time stated above to enforce this directive and inspect the property. We apologize for the financial inconvenience this may cause to you and other household members, but we appreciate your understanding and look forward to your cooperation.
Respectfully,
Thanks. I tried to find a copy of the directive to post, but they were all too blurry.
(Or it could have been that my eyes are getting old!)
Sure. My fingers are a bit rusty since I retired, so this was a good typing exercise. I didn’t do too bad...maybe ten minutes of work.
