Illinois Democrats to Allow Illegals to Change Their Names to Evade ICE

In a controversial move, Illinois Democrats are pushing forward a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to change their names legally to help them evade detection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The proposal, which undermines the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, further highlights Illinois’ troubling trend of prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants over the safety and security of American citizens. While supporters argue the move is about protecting immigrants from deportation, critics see it as a blatant attack on the rule of law and an irresponsible effort to shield individuals who have entered the country illegally from accountability.

Sounds like aiding and abetting. Hope they enjoy the results.

Time for the Feds to arrest and charge these people with aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice, etc etc.

Jailing some Leftists from Blue States for this will get everybody else’s attention and make them think twice before trying this crap themselves.

Ha...what a joke! AS IF names were EVEN taken when they crossed. Don’t make me laugh


Don’t need a name. The mantra should be, “If you’re brown, you’re going down”...

Load ‘em up, move ‘em out!!

Under federal law, bringing in and harboring aliens is a crime
Title 8 U.S. Code 1324 defines various scenarios when bringing in and harboring aliens violates federal law
Encouraging or inducing an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law
Concealing, harboring or shielding an alien from detection in any place, including any building or any means of transportation, knowing, or in reckless disregard of the fact, that the alien entered or remains in the United States in violation of law, or to engage in any conspiracy to do so, or to aid and abet such violations

For those that are saying “their names are made up anyway”...it doesn’t matter. Whatever name they’ve ‘made up’ has become institutionalized into our systems. If they have a drivers license, receive benefits, etc. they’re in the system under a name and photo.

That said, this is ACTUAL ACTIVE OBSTRUCTION to avoid the law and is criminal. Those allow this should be charged with such.

Remind me isn’t the Real ID law about to be enforced (finally after so many delays in implementation).

If so, maybe all Illinois issued ID should not be allowed to count as “Real ID.” That would make for some interesting feedback to the citizens of Illinois. Those who had passports, Global Express, etc. could still pass through TSA at airports, enter federal buildings and facilities, etc. Everybody else, NOPE.
