Illinois governor says 'violent' illegal immigrants should be deported, open to meeting with Trump officials
Fox News ^ | 12/12/24 | Pilar Arias

The Democratic governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, says he agrees with one part of border czar appointee Tom Homan's historic mass deportation campaign under the incoming Trump administration.

Pritzker was responding to comments made by Homan at the Northwest Side GOP gathering that happened Monday evening, according to FOX 32 Chicago, where he threatened to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. The move would impact tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants in Chicago and Illinois.

"Violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported," Pritzker said at an unrelated news conference, the local station reported. "I do not want them in my state, I don't think they should be in the United States."

Homan has said no one is off the table when it comes to deportations, although public safety threats will be the priority. He directly mentioned Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson in his remarks.

"If your Chicago mayor doesn't want to help, he can step aside," Homan said. "But if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors an illegal alien, I will prosecute him."

Pritzker has said he would welcome a meeting with Homan or the incoming Trump administration, according to FOX 32, but no one has reached out to him.

Illinois republicans not only urge Pritzker to work with Homan, but say the state should repeal sanctuary laws that generally limit law enforcement's cooperation with ICE.

Currently, 1.4 million noncitizens have deportation orders but are not currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, according to new figures obtained by Fox News.

Wait and find out if illegal aliens are violent? How about no.

RE: “Violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported,” Pritzker said

Leftist woke types at home: “Where does he get crazy ideas like that? He’s supposed to be a Democrat like us.”

I think the Left is going to have to form a new political party with AOC, Ilhan and Bernie Sanders fans in it. Like Eldridge Cleaver and Dr. Benjamin Spock in 1968 breaking from the Democrats.

I’ll stock up on popcorn now.

Didn’t take long for ‘His Nibs’, the blardo Guv to start coming around.

In fact, Trump and Homan could just plop Jabba Pritzker down on the Mexican border … where his mere presence would form a wall and ‘they’d have to go through him’.

Enough with the "violent" bs. The rats are starting to play semantics. If you are here illegally, you broke United States law. Bye bye lawbreaker. Do not pass go, do not collect $2000.

Catholic Charities needs to be prevented from funneling illegals in as well. Revoking the tax exempt status should be considered.

Some democrats can read surveys. All surveys show 60-70% Americans support deportation. He, however, cannot flip flop completely, so he qualifies with ‘violent’

Pritzker has enough blubber on him to feed a small Mexican village.

President Trump should send Rod Blagojevich to have a chat with fatso Pritzker to inform him of the fun things that happen to guests in the Federal corrections system.

On another thread I saw the phrase “ law abiding illegals” put forth.

Still trying to wrap my head around that paradox.

Lost my washer and dryer in the house fire so I’m forced to go to laundromats.

Had a wretched time tonight finally finding one “ they” weren’t hogging.

Legit question; If they do get deported, will they get to take all the nice stuff they bought, like $70K new Broncos, back with them?

I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

I would hope that whatever we bought them would be counted as collateral for expenses incurred returning them. Don't know, but that is a good question.

My crapmobile is 18 years old and I can’t afford to have all the pretty blinky dash lights diagnosed let alone fixed.

That was one really nice red Bronco.

All my trips involve staying within the 15 mile “affordability “ range for possible tow truck charges.

I don’t reckon they need to worry about such things.

While Pritzker was spinning, an Illinois State Representative (Barbara Hernandez) was boasting that she sponsored legislation that bars law enforcement officials in Illinois from cooperating with ICE. If an illegal migrant is being held in jail or prison, the state authorities will not identify the person to ICE. This “sanctuary” b.s. means that the Feds must waste additional hours locating those who need to be deported.

Hernandez can relate because her family entered the USA illegally.

Kinda reminds me of VP Kamala calling DeSantis regarding the hurricane. The call was not taken for a good reason.

Common problem. Load up the Bronco with appliances bought on credit, head home. That’s when all the loan repayments stop.
