The left is lashing out as the Trump administration prepares to use Chicago’s Great Lakes Naval Station as a base for immigration enforcement sweeps in Chicago and Illinois.
The Department of Homeland Security has reportedly asked the Navy facility to gear up for “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs to support DHS operations,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
The plans are still in the early stages for the facility situated about 35 miles north of downtown Chicago.
Trump border czar Tom Homan told reporters that the administration plans to dedicate a “large contingent” of forces to Chicago, but he did not have any further information about the coming efforts.
“Operations are ramping up across the country, but you could see a ramp up of operations in Chicago, absolutely,” Homan said.
“You’re going to see a ramp up of operations in New York; you’re going to see a ramp up of operations continue in L.A., Portland, Seattle, all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE,” he added.
Chicago’s self-professed “progressive” Mayor Brandon Johnson has been vociferously opposing any ramping up of ICE activity in the Windy City and in an appearance last week on left-wing MSNBC even urged Chicagoans to “rise up” in violence against federal law enforcement officers.
Radical Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker has also warned the president against ramping up any enforcement focus on Chicago. Like Johnson, Prizker threatened the federal government, saying, “The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have.”

And by “peaceful,” he means . . . .
Dems are losing a lot of ‘voters’, no wonder they are so upset.
But are Republicans, outside of Trump, really gaining them. Or will they just stay home come the midterms?
The Great Lakes Naval Station is the primary training center for basic training and air cadet training, and has an airfield from which illegal immigrants can be hustled out of the US, much like the Alligator Alcatraz.
Of course, all these illegal immigrants have the option of self-deporting before they are rounded up and herded onto waiting aircraft.
The lost democrat voters will only stay at home on election day if we can keep the federal judges from blocking their deportations.
Is Alligator Alcatraz still open. I been reading lefties got it scaled down big time.
Lefties protect criminals (it's ALWAYS someone else's fault, especially racist cops)- as they themselves either have armed security (anti-cop politicians) or live behind security gates and cameras.
“But are Republicans, outside of Trump, really gaining them. Or will they just stay home come the midterms?”
The lost Dem votes from sending illegals home result in less Dem votes, no effect on R votes unless illegals were voting Republican, heh.
AA is almost empty. They have been sent elsewhere for the time being.
I’m all for a long-overdue crackdown. But more important than Guardsmen in the street would be actually keeping the criminals locked up once they are arrested. These cities unravel once they stop arresting them and when the justice system turns into a revolving door.
They won’t stay home because they know we are facing the Democrat Party which is the greatest evil of our time.
Soros, the unelected underground boss of nationwide DA’s, needs to be dis-elected, permanently.
Illinois is heading to a civil war to support illegals and their wanting mor crime? You have to be kidding. It’s time for president trump in impose martial law, arrest the mayor of Chicago and the governor.
Mayor Brandon Johnson another token stage prop for the party like the see the kickbacks going on in the town.

Something wrong with AA being empty. It’s the left. We have to fight them on every issue. If it isn’t AA it will soon be sending Garcia to Uganda.
