ICE arrests in Illinois, WGN Chicago news

ICE arrests in nationwide immigration crackdown including Illinois

Part of the transcript:

Gov JB Pritzker
I will stand up for residents of the state of Illinois who are abiding by the law. The Federal government has not communicated with the State of Illinois. That is an indication to all of you that it’s all about chaos and confusion. It is not about accomplishing something

(I didn’t know this, but Gov Pritzker is worth 3.7 billion. J.B. Pritzker is the governor of Illinois, and an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune. He previously ran the private equity firm Pritzker Group with his brother. The Pritzker family, based in Chicago, owns Hyatt hotels and other businesses. )

why risk alienating red state voters, when you can act "tough" in blue states instead?

Here's tonight's WGN News broadcast:

Jan 26, 2025
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove and President Trump's 'border czar' Tom Homan visited Chicago on Sunday to witness the start of ramped-up immigration enforcement in the nation’s third-largest city that’s been promised by the Donald Trump administration, though few details of the operation were made public.

Billionaire white guy who can govern.

Pros: Not from CA. Not associated with Rahm and the rest of the IL Dem machine. Not a celebrity.

He’s also out there swinging at Traitor which is one of my priorities right now.
