Chicago Organizers, Officials Call on ICE to Keep Away From Fiesta del Sol and Other Community Events – WTTW (Chicago)

“It’s unfortunate there has to be this fear around federal immigration enforcement,” said Beatriz Ponce de León, Chicago’s deputy mayor of immigrant, migrant and refugee rights. “We come together to say firmly that people should reject the negative attacks that are coming from our federal government, that we will protect each other and will take care of each other. And that’s what makes Chicago such a great city.”

Yeah, that sounds right. Let’s have Chicago organizers and officials tell ICE when and where to show up.

That sounds like exactly the sort of place that ICE should be at . If the organizers are so worried about ICE, there must be a lot of illegals running around at their event.
Go get them boys!

Obeying the law, and enforcing the law, would be a start toward making Chicago a great city.

Yeah, an illegal arrested for storing a body stored in a container full of bleach in his back yard, several child molesters, gang members and garden variety criminals rounded up by ICE, but ICE is the villain picking on these nice people.

There is no logic involving anything the lunatic Leftists are talking about.

Of course. ICE could easily target a few dozen neighborhoods and pick up illegals any time they choose. They don’t need to wait for a street festival. But media would rather sow fear.

So, I guess this woman is saying this country should leave the 20M-30M illegal immigrants alone. I think many of us wouldn’t care as much except for the crazy-high cost to the taxpaying citizens for such inaction.
