While Mayor Brandon Johnson showed up to defend Chicago’s sanctuary city policies before Congress, federal immigration authorities were expelling Prince Knox, a ‘refugee’ affiliated with the Revolutionary United Front, which chopped off the arms of tens of thousands of people with machetes to take over and provide them with free health care, back to his native Sierra Leone.
Prince Knox was one of the many illegal aliens, criminals and assorted monsters protected by Chicago’s ‘Welcoming City’ ordinance and the Illinois Trust Act which form its sanctuary system.
And Chicago’s sheltering of illegal alien criminals has forced ICE to carry out ‘raids’ to get them.
The media has been running alarmist articles such as NPR’s claim that “migrants in Chicago are skipping health checks due to immigration crackdown fears”, and claims in other media outlets that illegal aliens are too afraid to shop, go to church or send their children to schools.
But the only reason for ICE’s raids is Chicago’s refusal to hand over illegal alien criminals.
Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling admitted, “there’s no need to be afraid to show up to work. There’s no need to be afraid to go to school. We have not seen federal agents running through Chicago looking for children, going to work locations and grabbing people.”
The “climate of fear” is being spread by Johnson and his political allies, as well as the media, which are covering up the fact that ICE is arresting gang members and dangerous criminals. Their goal is to use fear to build up opposition to ICE’s arrests of the ‘worst of the worst’.
Ever since Trump took office, there’s been a civil war in Chicago between ICE immigration authorities who have arrested hundreds of illegal alien criminals and Mayor Johnson, the Chicago City Council and their political allies who are conspiring to block those arrests.
Pro-illegal alien activists track the movements of undercover federal immigration enforcement personnel to sabotage their operations and tip off their targets. Rep. Delia Ramirez, a member of the Homeland Security Committee in Congress, described ICE enforcement as “these acts of terror and intimidation” and urged pro-illegals, “if you see ICE activity, potentially in unmarked vehicles, we encourage you to report that to our local immigration rights organizations.”
Mayor Johnson similarly described the federal government’s renewed commitment to immigration enforcement as “acts of terror to radically shift our way of living.”
In D.C., he told Congress that he was “building a Chicago that embodies the dream of my father.” Brandon’s dad had apparently envisioned a city overrun by illegal alien gangs like Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings even in Chicago’s ultra-violent South Side.
“Chicago’s Welcoming City ordinance and our other laws and policies do not lead to more crime, they do not prevent cooperation with federal law enforcement on criminal matters and we do not harbor criminals,” Johnson falsely told Congress. Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot, helped tighten the Welcoming City sanctuary city ordinance to protect criminals who had been arrested.
Two Latino City Council members tried to roll back the extreme sanctuary city arrangement. ICE had offered to stop immigration raids if Chicago law enforcement were allowed to turn over criminals directly to it. The proposal by Alds. Raymond Lopez and Silvana Tabares failed by 11 to 39. Johnson led the campaign against it bragging that he would continue to defy the law “to stand by and protect Chicago’s immigrant communities against threats from ICE.”
Johnson and Chicago authorities complain about ICE raids, they claim that immigration authorities are targeting schools and churches, and have resorted to outright lies to spread fear.
“Earlier today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School,” Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova lied at a press conference. “School staff followed CPS established protocols. They kept ICE agents outside of the school and contacted CPS law department and CPS Office of Safety and Security for further guidance. The ICE agents were not allowed into the school and were not permitted to speak to any students or staff members. Here is the bottom line, our students and staff are safe.”
Chicago school staff weren’t actually interfering with ICE personnel, but with Secret Service agents who were investigating death threats being sent over the proposed TikTok ban.
Chicago Public Schools head Pedro Martinez kept up the lying on MSNBC, falsely stating that the Secret Service “presented credentials and shared that they were from ICE.”
Why did top Chicago education officials lie? To spread fear and build up opposition to immigration enforcement by frightening students and parents as they had done from the very beginning with an email offering “mental health resources available at every CPS school to help students who may be feeling concern and anxiety about the incoming administration”.
“Every violent crime is devastating, but scapegoating entire communities is not only misleading, it is unjust, and it is beneath us,” Johnson argued.
The ‘communities’ in question are illegal alien criminals and international gangs.
ICE isn’t terrorizing anyone. Mayor Brandon Johnson is using terror to protect the sanctuary city system. Johnson and Chicago politicians know that ICE is only coming for illegal alien criminals. He isn’t protecting “families” or “communities”, but murderers, rapists, terrorists and child molesters. And he’s protecting them by forcing ICE to carry out immigration raids so that he can claim that the deportation of criminals is “terrorizing” Chicago’s Latino communities.
Because Johnson wasn’t protecting immigrants or even illegals, he was protecting criminals.
In D.C., Johnson claimed that everything was going well and crime was down in Chicago, but, Chicago authorities are once again rigging crime statistics by not recording crimes, not making arrests and not solving crimes. Johnson shut down ShotSpotter which helped detect homicides. And only 1 in 7 violent crimes ended in an arrest. Chicago authorities now claim that they have cleared 60% of murders. Last year they claimed to have a clearance race of 54%, but the actual clearance rate for murders that ended in an arrest is only 23%. Or less than 1 in 4 murders.
Despite Johnson’s claim that crime is down, there have already been 77 murders this year.
Mayor Johnson, whose love for illegal aliens is only exceeded by his love for criminals, turned Chicago into a sanctuary city for criminals where most murders are filed as unprosecutable.
And the illegal alien criminals who commit them are treated as undeportable.
The sanctuary city for illegal alien criminals is a deeply unsafe place for everyone else. A third of Chicagoans are worried about migrant crime, and 1 in 5 say their children are now unsafe in school because of mass migration. But there’s no sanctuary for Americans in Chicago.
In Congress, Mayor Brandon Johnson, whose approval rating is at 6%, defended his pro-illegal alien criminal policies by claiming, “I was elected to represent the people of Chicago and that’s what I do”, but a majority of Chicago residents want less immigration, only 20% want more.
According to Johnson, around 1% of the city budget now goes toward illegal alien migrants.
While 80% of Chicago residents are sick and tired of Johnson, illegal alien criminals love him. And in Cook County, that 1 percent votes earlier and more often than Americans do.
This mayeer-man needs an all expense paid one-way ticket to El Salvador.
Arrest him for violating 8 USC 1324, carries up to ten years in prison. Do that a few times and the illegal problem will start to shrink.
The sad part is that when the next election comes around the good citizens of Chicago will vote is another liberal Democrat with the same ideals. They never learn from their stupid mistakes.
How does one fathom the mentality of a Mayor who is a Moron? A practical problem I had a lot of experience with dealing with East SF Bay politicians 🙂
Easy. He’s a Democrat. Therefor a Moron.
National Voter ID would take care of a bunch of problems in America . imho
Maybe but what was the last thing you witnessed the Federal Government do correctly?
President Clinton correctly came in the usual fashion when Monica Lewinsky blew him.
Chicago the Windy City still run by Windbag Democrats and nothing will change as long as they keep voting for Democrats
The Mayor is obviously a clear and present danger to the citizens of that city.
What would Jesus do? We are commanded by the blood of Jesus to sacrifice ourselves for our brothers and sisters under God. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers that you do on to me.
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:40
It takes absolutely no imagination to borrow quotes from Jesus. So now that you have borrowed these quotes what are you going to do?
You will do what you always do. You will smugly sit back and presume you have told us all off and we will see the error of our ways.
I hope the people of Chicago have seen their errors and will throw this bum out. If they don’t, then what will you do? Hector us some more? Finger wag at us some more.
Guess what, you aren’t saving the world. You aren’t saving anything. You aren’t changing anything. You are simply showing us what a pathetic busy body you are, so full of yourself and your hatred of the Jews and the Christians.
Are you capable of commenting based on your rational philosophy religion instead of regularly bashing others?
As one of her devotees, what do you think Ayn Rand would do?
Or better yet, what would you do?
The most important thing that I learned from Ayn Rand is not found in her books or novels, but in her personal life. Which Objectivists always treat as the same thing. To point out her mistakes is to attack Objectivism. Either that or they they deflect. It’s like trying to get a socialist to admit that Karl Marx was an awful person. So what? He was still right, as far as they are concerned. Objectivists treat her moral pronouncements the same way. As if they come from Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton themselves. “Yes,” they say, “they were only human, like you or me, but what does that have to with relativity or gravity? What are you a flat earther? The philosophy has been settled!”
Jesus posted armed guards when he sought prayerful seclusion (Luke 22:38).
The left are the rotting, hate mongers just looking for psychopaths to encourage. Fine, then like those they love to support, put them in transport planes to the worst hellhole prisons in South America and leave them outside the camp (in this scenario the camp is the USA) which is rightly where evil doers and their followers belong; unable to affect the safety, security and well being of United States citizens and our Constitutionally based way of life.
Bye!
The Chicago Mayor is an accessory to the crimes being carried out by the illegal alien criminals (as well as other criminals) who are being sheltering and concealed from ICE and the FBI. He should be arrested and charged accordingly. These arrogant and seditious Dems need to face the full wrath of a real justice system. They are predators no different than the criminals they are shielding.
Chicago is the city in which the President of the Chicago Teachers Union, who called school choice “racist,” sends her child to an expensive private school.
In an election year, Governor Pritzker let a tax credit program for providing school vouchers continue, only to do nothing to prevent its ending after the election. Any guess as to whether Pritzker sends his kids to public schools?
“migrants in Chicago are skipping health checks due to immigration crackdown fears”, Inform NPR these are illegal aliens not migrants! Majority of these illegal aliens are terrorists and gang banger cartel members and are Chicago and other ‘sanctuary cities’ joined their terror cells and cartel cells and waiting for the order to strike – until then, they remain in training in these cities in the USA
Rep. Delia Ramirez, a member of the Homeland Security Committee – Whhhhaaaattt?
They need to remove this insane demoniac dipshit . Delia Ramirez from the Homeland Security Committee where she is no doubt bitching about the closed border and the border wall being completed!
Let them starve or is Johnson going to send Meals on Wheels to feed them?
The people of Chicago got exactly what they voted for. Maybe they have wised up now and will finally fix the mess they created. If they decide to turn things around it’s going to take a complete rebuild and will take years to undo the leftist damage.
I noticed a typo in the spelling of the city’s name, you must have missed the that a “t” was added after the “i” during the last mayor’s term.
The c name Chicago its translated from the Indian word for Skunk Bad Smell Stink and it fits them just right
That Marxist excuse for a mayor needs to listen to his constituents. THEY DO NOT WANT THE ILLEGALS THERE. Of course, why should. he care? Chicago’s elections have been rigged for generations. He knows that his job is secure, as long as he’s a Dim.
Marxists, socialists, communists, fascists and jihadis should NOT be allowed to run for U.S. office, let alone hold any. They are un-American and have no place here in political or other offices. They should not even be allowed to teach in our schools. We’ve allowed it, and just look at the mess we’re in because of it, on top of the one created by the Dims. and the RINOs. They must be STOPPED. I don’t know of anywhere in our laws where it states that such detrimental and opposing ideologies must be allowed. END IT NOW.
elect *******, get ****** bullshit

Although I can conveniently take the train to Chicago, and I used to with the kids, I have not visited in thirty years. Crime. Panhandling. Now the added joy of illegals. Fool politicians like Lori and Brandon; no thanks.
I’ll never return.
