ICE Mass Arrests Spark Chaos In South Loop As Activists Fight To Disrupt Operation – Block Club Chicago

Tensions escalated outside the office building as agents led detainees out to vans. Most agents wore face coverings and some carried long guns. They were seen pushing back some of the alderpeople and residents who assembled to protest, and Ald. Anthony Quezada later said he was aggressively pushed to the ground by agents.

Have ICE and Homan abandon sanctuary cities like Chicago, Boston, and LA. If they want to protect their criminals and pedophiles, let them. Protect the areas in the US that want and appreciate the efforts of ICE and Homan. Let criminals gravitate to sanctuary cities. Maybe the citizens of those sanctuary cities will revolt at the crime rate. Of course, the media and the administrations in those cities never publicize crimes committed by illegals.

And cue the resident IL Latinomarxists, that wouldn’t get knocked around if they weren’t impeding law enforcement, cry about chilling effects, etc. Would that it got so cold that they left. Venezuela is quite warm this time of year.

The short video misses the point–the original action which led to the reaction (illegal migration leading to deportation) was itself criminal. You could apply the same ridiculous standard to excuse murder, rape and mayhem: “They’re nice people at heart.(who want your standard of living at no cost to themselves or your stuff or the store’s stuff because you or the store has it and they don’t).”

Sounds to me like some lawbreaking criminals were rounded up. Too bad the protestors, who were breaking the law by interfering with lawful police activities, were not arrested too. Criminal’s, regardless of the crime, need to be dealt with.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
