Social media users are venting their rage over a recent ABC7 Chicago broadcast, where the news outlet interviewed locals who were telling illegal migrants how to avoid being captured by federal authorities.
The broadcast detailed how Chicagoans are patrolling neighborhoods, informing the community of recent mass deportation raids, and telling illegal aliens what to do if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers end up on their doorstep.
News anchor Cheryl Burton spoke from the studio on Wednesday, before cutting to reporter Michelle Gallardo in the field.
Burton said: 'Chicago's immigrant community is on edge tonight as Michelle Gallardo reports, activists and elected officials are canvassing neighborhoods, letting people know their rights should ICE come knocking - don't open for ICE.'
Gallardo spoke to local business owners, who have been plastering 'don't open for ICE' posters on their windows and giving local illegal immigrants tips on how to survive during the new Trump administration.
Viewers were quick to express their outrage over the station's decision to broadcast the anti-ICE advisory.
'Imagine if Chicago had an unbiased media that served the interests of the public not the interests of the WOKE Democrats who it carries water for,' one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
'HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?? They are here ILLEGALLY,' another user wrote.

Tip number one: go home now!
Simple - arrest those seeking to provide the means of refuge to those illegally in our country. There’s existing law.
Tom Homan mentioned “collateral arrests” in sanctuary cities.
There is a law against aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
ICE should raid this TV station and arrest the talking heads on live TV!
Just announce yourself as "Landshark".
RICO ABC and drag everyone from the office in for questioning. At a minimum, the “reporter” who said it on air gets charged. Add the teleprompter writer, the producer and the director too.
I'll give them the best advice to avoid deportation, don't break the freaking law.
This should be a crime.
Contact the FCC and demand they pull their broadcast license.
I agree to ALL suggestions here.There have to be consequences
Oh, I'm pretty sure it is.
“This should be a crime.”
Already is, “media” and politicians/NGO’s/”religious invader helpers” have just kept silent about 8 USC 1324:
(a) Criminal penalties
(1)
(A) Any person who—
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)
(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,

Penalties? Fines, jail, up to and including being made unalive if said aiding of invader results in the death of a US citizen.
check Cheryl and Michelle’s stats maybe we can deport them too!!!
Really. That seems pretty cut and dried to me.
Isn’t it against the law to help people break the law?
Trump needs to send a message.
Suspend the broadcasting license of ABC7 for 90 days and arrest the reporter aiding and abetting illegal activity.
All the other TV stations will get that message loud and clear.
Start jailing these miscreants, Mr. Trump.
Man it would really suck if their FCC lic. got suspended. 😊👍
“ Social media users are venting their rage over a recent ABC7 Chicago broadcast, where the news outlet interviewed locals who were telling illegal migrants how to avoid being captured by federal authorities.”
Aiding and abetting. Sounds like conspiracy to a federal crime. I hear the jail where the J6 hostages were held are empty.
