U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons sent a letter to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul calling on him to put the safety of Americans first and honor ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in the state’s custody including murderers, sexual predators, and those convicted of or charged with weapons offenses.
Illinois' failure to honor ICE detainers has resulted in the release of 1,768 criminal illegal aliens since January 20. The crimes of these aliens include 5 homicides, 141 assaults, 23 burglaries, 4 robberies, 24 dangerous drugs offenses, 15 weapons offenses, and 10 sexual predatory offenses.
There are currently 4,015 aliens in the custody of an Illinois jurisdiction with an active detainer. The crimes of these aliens include 51 homicides, 1,134 assaults, 107 burglaries, 36 robberies, 275 dangerous drugs offenses, 120 weapons offenses, and 813 sexual predatory offenses.
In September, ICE sent a letter to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul asking for cooperation in honoring ICE detainers on criminal illegal aliens. His office did not respond.
“Governor Pritzker and his fellow Illinois sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, pedophiles, and kidnappers back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We are calling on Governor Pritzker and his administration to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Illinois’ custody. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”
Some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens released by Governor Pritzker and his fellow Illinois sanctuary politicians include:

If only we had a DoJ.
Unless they're white.
Prickster is probably going to vapor lock someday because he’s so overweight.
“If only we had a DoJ.”
I really wish that we had Jeanine Pirro in that position instead of Pam Bondi.
She’s in-Crockett. Change of subject.
WHY? What can possibly be the motivation to turn monsters loose on citizens and taxpayers?
Would be an ace over a deuce. Blondi is Jeff Sessions in a pants suit.
To advance to goals of the revolution.

Damn seem willing to do anything to deprive Trump of a success. Dems obviously do not care about their ordinary citizens. The only care about the elite for their money and about the government dependent for their votes.
Hoping they slide into nearby red states and areas to assault and murder.
Exactly, why? What could you possibly gain and why does the electorate think it’s ok…even those in Chicago?
“Governor Pritzker’s Sanctuary Illinois Released More than 1,700 Criminal Illegal Aliens Including Murderers, Pedophiles, and Kidnappers”
Would be a great campaign advertisement for the Republicans.

The kindest explanation is that Pritzker is trying to be gentle and forgiving. Most liberals are like that.
Pick up that poor rattlesnake that’s lying out in the cold. Bring it in to your house, and warm it up. Then act all surprised when the snake strikes, and kills someone.
Like I said, that’s the kindest explanation. A more sinister explanation is probably more likely.

Evil begets and protects evil. It’s nothing more complicated than that. Crime creates chaos and chaos is what communists use to infiltrate, gain power and take over nations. It ain’t complex.
I guess they are fielding their army.
Did ANY news outlet in that state release these facts?
Yup.
So we'll beg them for the jackboots to save us.
LOL. Is a "Kwame Raoul" interested in the safety of Americans?
