Governor J.B. Pritzker has publicly dismissed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) account of a violent confrontation involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents near a facility in Broadview, a Chicago suburb, calling the description “propaganda.”

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Vote Pritzker out.
Hopefully Pritzker will soon be charged and on trial for his role in all of this.
J.B.Pritzker’s advocating for violence to me makes him nothing but a Domestic Terrorist and threat to all.
What an embarrassment.
Putzger and his relentless diatribe is only fueling the fire on this. If he wasn’t the little rich kid growing up and had to work for his earnings maybe he’d realize why taxpayers are upset about funding illegals
Time to try getting your reports and news from different people . Bought the governorship but you can’t buy the democratic presidential nomination
if the DNC can support the likes of Kamala they could certainly support Pritzger
There is audio of the stand down order at another website and documents of the incident reports at a second site. Woe is me! Do I believe my own eyes and ears or the Pillsbury Dough Boy?
Pritzker is being watched by Federal law enforcement – He is a person of interest now.
Where is it reported that he has been designated as a person of interest?
Every time he opens his mouth he lies
Pritzker says he doesn’t have the facts about what actually happened, yet calls the ICE account propaganda. Got it.
