Chicago Bans ICE From Public Areas After Withholding Police Backup From Battered ICE Agents

Pritzker said that Texas National Guard troops should, ‘stay the hell out of Illinois.’

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

After all these decades of thoroughly corrupt politicians, I think it's obvious the people there do not think at all.

I’m curious as to How Many of Brandon’s CPD are willing to go toe to toe with the Texas Guard?

In that same vein, I wonder as to How Many of Pritzker’s State Police are also willing to go toe to toe with the Texas Guard?

Big Talk from Brandon and Pritzker.

Democrats don't care about what the people think.

It's all about votes and voters.

And in Chicago and Cook County way over half the voters are dead, phantoms created out of thin air or are the 'ol vote early, vote often crowd.

Can't poll voters who are residing in a cemetery.
