It’s nice to have these articles to balance the articles of community members in support of the aggressive enforcement of immigration laws.

[willk]

AP roots for the other team.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Wow! I never thought I would want the U.S. to have prison camps.

[Brian Griffin]

It may be that we’ll have to end property and income taxation and prohibit government fiscal deficits.

The invaders can pay their and their kids way.

[lastchance]

I understand but journalists are protected under the First Amendment.

Baltazar Enriquez must live off the taxpayer’s money if he can fart around looking for ICE agents all day.
Lazy parasite SOB.

Is he an illegal alien too?

[neverevergiveup]

No one has the right to ignore border and immigration laws and diminish the rights ig American citizens. If you are not here legally, you have the right to leave and go back to where you came from.

I guarantee that if there were communities in the US that were promoting the illegal entry of conservative white people from anywhere in the world, and protecting them from deportation, Baltazar Enriquez and those like him would be screaming for their deportation.

Every person who comes into this nation illegally, and particularly those who don’t want to assimilate but instead want to markedly alter the US, are personally attacking me and all legal patriotic American citizens - and their families. Those who protect them from deportation are also aggressively attacking American citizens.

[Racketeer]

How is it not interfering with a federal investigation?

[doc maverick]

Good question and the AP elevates him to star status.
What a pile of horse manure!

Could be made ineffective with false alarms every day.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a plan.

One thing Chicagoans have to admit is that crime is down since ICE has been there.
One can only believe that the population that is against ICE and the clean-up are also for the high crime they’ve been nade to live in....

[Bikkuri]

"largely Mexican neighborhood"

But, you see... this is NOT Mexico. It is the United States of America.
If you want Mexico, and its culture... GO TO MEXICO.

ARROGANT ILLEGALS—THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW LONG THEY CAN LAST.

[oldasrocks]

Excellent Idea. Loud whistles blowing every few minutes on each block at random times.

[Kudsman]

Bovino told The Associated Press this month that U.S. Customs and Border Protection will target other cities. He didn’t elaborate, but Homeland Security officials confirmed Saturday that an immigration enforcement surge had begun in Charlotte, North Carolina.

So whistles have taken down ICE and Homeland Security by creating no go zones? This sounds like an insurrection of the unassimilated. Why are the regular Chicago police not arresting the blowers? Is there still Federal assisstance going to schools encouraging walkout mobs?

[trebb]

I did a search - and it’s not known if he’s even a citizen....

Could be made ineffective with false alarms every day.

"What do you mean the raid was two blocks away? The whistles were blown here, not there."
