CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mayor Lori Lightfoot is threatening citations and potential jail time to residents failing to comply with the stay-at-home order as house parties continue to be held across the city.

With the weekend bringing warm weather, Chicago police broke up multiple large gatherings Friday night, including a house party with 150 guests.

"When you go out and party, when you go home to your momma, your grandma, or anybody in your household who has an underlying medical condition, you are bringing death to their doorstep," Lightfoot said. She said authorities are aware of more parties and gatherings planned for Saturday night.

"We will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail," Lightfoot said.

Lightfoot and Chicago police are asking residents to anonymously submit tips about any house parties at cpdtip.com.

The Democrats want to arrest parents, put them in cages, and separate them from their kids. The same thing they hate President Trump for.

I’ve been going out to the Utah desert in defiance of these stay-home orders. I even post it on their govt. Facebook pages. If you want to arrest me, come on out to the Newfoundland or Silver Island Mountains and get me. I’ve got literally square miles to myself out there, sakes.

The people don’t matter.

What’s important is that Her Honor The Mayor has her hair neatly trimmed so she looks good for the telescreen cameras.

LOL.

“Because, like, we’ve let the murderers and rapists out to make room for you miscreants!!!”

we will arrest you and we will take you to jail," Lightfoot said.

I love that tough talk from someone who will NOT be doing the arresting and taking to jail part of the deal. She will not do jack sh*t herself, personally/physically.

Why does the rest of Illinois have to suffer because of Chicago? So wrong.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is threatening citations and potential jail time to residents failing to comply with the stay-at-home order, as Impy’s tea parties continue to be held across the city.

With the weekend bringing warm weather, Chicago police broke up multiple large riots Friday night, including a house party with 15 guests, including a young guy named Anthony.

“When you cannot go out and party, when you must go home to your momma, or drink alone with your grandma, or ignore anybody in your household who has an underlying drug addiction, you are bringing death to the city’s doorstep,” Anthony said. He said authorities are aware of more parties and gatherings planned for Saturday night and will use Gestapo tactics in the street.

“We will shut your kegger down, we will bite you, and if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to church,” Mayor Lightfoot said.

Lightfoot and Chicago police are asking residents to anonymously submit tips about any keg parties at cpdtip.com.
