Ray Lopez (D-15th) says the city should pull the funding of RefugeeOne, the taxpayer-backed non-profit allegedly funding the living expenses of Venezuelan Illegal alien Loyola University murderer Jose Medina-Medina.

Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Shouldn’t have been paying for it in the first place. The entire illegal immigrant fiasco over the Biden presidency will go down in history as the most socially destructive and financially damaging event in US History.
This woman represents everything wrong with the rotten Liberals; put them anywhere, just as long as I don’t have to live near them.
Our society is so screwed up!
Defund all NGOs right now: The report said that RefugeeOne spent $9,946,902 in 2024 assisting 3,347 illegal aliens from 84 countries to live in Chicago, including those from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Killer Medina-Medina lived in an apartment with his mother at 6825 N. Sheridan Road, according to police reports, where RefugeeOne allegedly pays his rent. The Autopen-in-chief, JB the Hutt and Mayor Cliff Notes are culpable in the activities of those they allow to remain in the US illegally: U.S. Government officials say Medina-Medina, the Loyola University murderer, was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol… Read more »
And they honestly believe THEY are the good people, destroying the fabric of a nation, while making a tidy profit off the taxpayer too.
I say it all the time while getting hated on: Liberals are rotten citizens.
Ah yest the crazy AWFL grin. The mental illness is visible on the face.
Stop all funding to illegals and start funding working, law abiding US citizens
Lopez for Mayor.
You have to look at the irony. We have parks with encampments of homeless citizens that the city takes down. Then you have organizations that give free housing to illegals. Whatever happened to Charity begins at home.
The linked article doesn’t say that Chicago is funding RefugeeOne.
The IRS Form 990 RefugeeOne filed for the fiscal year ending June 2025 shows about $14M in income of which $9.9 M is listed as “government grants”; an additional $4.3M is from other, non-governmental grants (which means another NGO could be getting government grants and passing them on to RefugeeOne). They report spending $6.1M for refugee resettlement services. NGO funding sources are purposefully difficult to source.
