The exchange began when Tribune reporter Gregory Royal Pratt posted on X Tuesday that ICE agents were operating on 26th Street in Little Village. Within hours, Tricia McLaughlin, the Department of Homeland Security’s assistant secretary for public affairs, reposted the journalist’s message with her own caption: “Why is a Chicago Tribune reporter telegraphing the location of federal law enforcement?”

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.

Democrats love criminals, terrorists and pedophiles.
Charge him with aiding and abetting criminal action. That might give him something to write about.
“Journalism is not a crime” but the way the Tribune does it is prostitution, so I guess it really is a crime.
Pratt doesn’t know that ICE was established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Their mission is no different than what happened during the Clinton and Obama administrations. Millions of illegals were deported around 1995. Some were Tribune employees! No outrage published in the Tribune then!
The article says agents tried to stop “protesters at the Broadview ICE facility by shooting pepper spray and rubber bullets at protestors and journalists.” It doesn’t mention that the “protesters” tried to block ICE vehicles, per their linked article: https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/19/ice-tear-gasses-detains-protesters-outside-broadview-facility/
Crocodile tears!
Arrest all who are participating in the obstruction of justice. They’re suppose to report the news without their own and papers biased. To get real news listen to the independent journalists who are reporting what they see and then getting beat up by protesters.
This quote from Martin Preib is applicable:
“…for more than any media in the nation, the Chicago media cast off its allegiance to safeguard a functioning republic and threw itself into becoming a central agent of the radical left, whose war on the criminal justice system is the most coveted and successful tactic of this new media…”

Good thing Pratt wasn’t alive to be a Nazi or Imperial Japan sympathizer during W W II and do some “ journalism “, referred to as snitching by the rest of us.
Because the Trib and Times are pawns to Putzger and Pinhead. They aren’t journalists ,they’re stooges and the rags they work for are good for bottom of bird cages
