Chicago ICE Official: We’re ‘In a Difficult Situation’ Because Locals, State Are Releasing Criminals
Breitbart ^ | 01/28/2025 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/28/2025 2:19:53 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Chicago ICE Field Office Enforcement and Removal Operations Director Samuel Olson stated that agents are “in a difficult situation here in Chicago” because many of the people they’re trying to apprehend “were previously arrested by local or state authorities and we’ve placed holds on many of them and they were released from the facility into the communities again.”

Olson said, “It’s kind of an arduous process, right? It’s — we’re in a difficult situation here in Chicago because a lot of the targets that we’re looking at were previously arrested by local or state authorities and we’ve placed holds on many of them and they were released from the facility into the communities again. So, we have to go through, spend a lot of hours researching where they’re living, and then actually go out into their environment to try to arrest them.”

Trump needs to go to Chicago and make a speech asking the people of Chicago what they think of this action by their supposed “public servants”

Let me see if I get this right.

Many (bleep) hole countries release their criminals from prison to illegally come to the United States.

And now (bleep) hole cities are releasing their criminals to illegally STAY in the United States.

Aside from the problem of fraudulent elections, I am convinced that Chicago (and other cities) could go Republican. The people who live there know that they are screwed by the Democrats who “win” the local elections.

Start arresting state and local officials.

If judges are in the mix, include them.

Any arrest and conviction on federal charges will nullify
them from returning to their former duties.

Fine, makes more opportunities for rounding up collateral illegals.

So as Chicago is setting criminals free so ICE doesn't get them, they're also keeping them in jail and refusing to let ICE have them.

I would station two ICE agents outside the jail in a van and interview everyone released from the facility.

Park on public property. The van will be full by the end of their shift.

Democrats have chosen to die on the hill supporting convicted criminals from other countries.

2026 is an election year. Will Republicans use the Democrat’s releasing of ciminals in their campaign ads in order to emphasize law and order (or safety and security)?

Usually, Republicans take the safe route and avoid anything that touches on race, gender or ethnicity. Pollsters and election advisors consider them to be too controversial. The media may even ban most of the ads.

I can’t figure out what possible power or gain they get by allowing criminal aliens in their city.

To embarrass the Trump admin and tear down the norm.

Chomsky would say tear it all down and build it back in the image you see.

Cut off all federal funds to the city, immediately. Every nickle designated for Chicago should go to North Carolina for hurricane relief.

Federal aid money, based on a per-capita distribution.

Headcount and payroll to administer the various programs.

Counting illegals as population improves the individual states ability to train or gain seats in the US House of Representatives. Without the illegals coming into Illinois, that state would most likely have lost 2 seats in the last census, not just one.

One option is to start from the other end. Go to every worksite, food joint, factory, Home Depots, etc. and arrest the Illegal workers at those places. 98% probably have clean records in the US and many had been screened on arrival (such as visa overstays). That way, at a minimum, you stop labor, which will IMMEDIATELY get the attention of these slimeballs.
