Pritzker: Trump Administration Is Trying to Make Chicago a War Zone
Breitbart ^ | October 5, 2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/05/2025 7:19:38 AM PDT by PBRCat

Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said the Trump administration was attempting to make Chicago a war zone to justify sending in more troops.

Pritzker said, “Instead of going after the bad guys, they’re just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. Are you a U.S. citizen? I don’t know about you, but I don’t carry around papers that say I’m a U.S. citizen. So you can imagine people are getting detained. They’re getting arrested, U.S. citizens. And they did this, of course, when they raided a building in the middle of the night in South Shore, 130 people that were emptied out of this building. They were going after a few gang members, and instead they broke windows. They broke down doors, they ransacked the place, and there were people that were held. I mean, elderly people and children zip tied, elderly people held for three hours at a time. They are the ones that are making it a war zone.”

He continued, “They want mayhem on the ground. they want to create the war zone so that they can send in even more troops. Now they’re claiming they need 300 of Illinois National Guard. Well, we didn’t need them before they showed up.”

Pritzker added, “He’s saying that, you know, Chicago is a war zone, none of that is true. They’re just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it’s a war zone.”

Governor Pritzker continues to lie about the successful ICE raid on a gang infested South Shore apartment building filled with Venezuelan squatters and gang members. The conditions in the building predated the raids, but Pritzker blames ICE for causing the broken doors and windows in the apartment building.

Having domestic enemies in positions like ‘mayor’ and ‘governor’ may not be best practices but America pulls it off

A 1996 law prevented migrants from getting welfare — it’s been ignored for 30 years https://nypost.com/2025/09/21/opinion/a-1996-law-prevented-migrants-from-getting-welfare-its-been-ignored-for-30-years/

If you riot or commit a crime or harm anyone the gov’t has the RIGHT to CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR any government money. CUT OF THEIR welfare, food stamps, section 8 OR any GOVERNMENT $. Every government program you accept comes with CONDITIONS. If you break the CONTRACT you LOSE.

The rioting will stop. Soros does not pay enough to the paid rioters for them to lose their government $. CUT THEM OFF GOV’T TAX $.

No Police - No Court giving DUE PROCESS - Just “you broke the contract we are ENFORCING the consequences”.

That fat, corrupt pig is ignoring the fact that ICE is being attacked by leftists.

The problem is that violation of the immigration laws is so widespread as to be almost without remedy without using the military or military-like tactics.

Why, because the Dem Party, leftists and NGOs have all acted like an organized crime syndicate aided and abetted by donor-class RINOs who have looked the other way while the US gov and businesses have facilitated a flood of illegal immigration.

Trump would be well advised to invoke the Insurrection Act against Chicago, Portland, and more generally against IL, CA, and OR. Arrest the Dems and their public officials and appoint a military governor. Any "resistance" by state officials will be met with seizure of payroll accounts and further arrests. If necessary, replace state bureaucracies with Army Civil Affairs troops, hold new elections and restore democracy to these states.

Pritzker chose to lie even after this story was refuted before he was interviewed:

Chicago is already a war zone and Pritzker is helping it by not excepting Trump’s help.

Another comrad in action helping his party.

It is very dangerous to take down a gang infested apartment building. Everyone in the building has to be considered a threat. Pritzker is desperate for sympathetic illegal alien victims. None found here.

Governor Pritzker is a SEDITIONIST and needs to be prosecuted.

“ A seditionist is a person who incites rebellion, revolution, or public disorder against a government or lawful authority. This term refers to someone who promotes disaffection, hatred, or contempt for their government through actions or speech that aim to undermine the authority of the state and stir up resistance or rebellion”

Has fatso even commented on the woman that threatened ICE agents and rammed their cars and boxed them in? Did he condemn those violent acts?

I don’t know about you, but I don’t carry around papers that say I’m a U.S. citizen.

A driver's license indicates citizenship.

Well, looking over at Chicago from where I am, it looks like a war zone from here; a war zone that is spreading.

That depends mostly upon what they let you use to get the deed done.

I was on a train riding thru the south side of Chicago back in the mid-eighties, and it looked like a war zone then...
