Politicians battle over immigration policy after Loyola student’s death – NBC5 (Chicago)

Republicans, including gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, have criticized Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for their “sanctuary city” policies, but those Democrats are firing back, arguing that failures at the national level helped lead to the tragedy. “It is the job of the federal government to go after immigration enforcement,” Pritzker said.

‘“It is the job of the federal government to go after immigration enforcement,” Pritzker said.”?
And it’s Your job to let them do so, without verbally, legally or physically hamstringing them, which you Have Not done.

How can PDJT go after the worse of the worse when you Pritzker and Brandon don’t allow ICE or CPD to do there jobs you impede them at every turn with your sanctuary policies. Man talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth, you are a hypocrite at its worst. You will both someday pay for your incompetence and inactions in the court of law, sound familiar Pritzker.

Pritzker’s statement: “I know that the Gorman family has suffered mightily,” Pritzker said. “I agree. There have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. There [are] national failures, a failure to have comprehensive immigration reform, a failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst.” (emphasis added)

Ummm… this illegal wasn’t on the “worst of the worst” list until he murdered Sheridan Gorman. He has been AWOL from the system since a petty shoplifting arrest in mid-2023. Should’ve been booted then.

The apathy the dems are showing to the rest of this country over this death is both appaling and embarrassing. This state is classless

“It is the job of the federal government to go after immigration enforcement,” he said. This statement is another example why I think that Pritzker is just not right in the head.

It is beyond embarrassing to have Pritzker as the governor – he and his cronies create riots around detention centers and shuffle illegals under the cover of darkness. Everyone knew this was coming at some point – he was just hoping it would be after he was “elected.” What will it take for Illinois voters to get this clown out of office?
