More than 100 arrested in Chicago area as targeted immigration enforcement efforts continue – CBS2 (Chicago)

Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling said that while he does not know who specifically has been arrested in Chicago, "The communication that we have directly from the federal agency is that their focus would be people who are undocumented who have committed violent crimes, and have been convicted of crimes. He continued, "What we have not seen is that we have not seen federal agents running through Chicago looking for children, going to work locations and grabbing people. There's no need to be afraid to show up to work. There's no need to be afraid to go to school."

Right now “there’s no need to be afraid to show up to work”, but very soon there will be.

If they stole a SS number or lied, I think it’s justified. Pritzker and Democrats purposely gummed up E-Verify to box in employers and basically alert employees about raids beforehand. It’s awful. https://natlawreview.com/article/what-illinois-employers-using-e-verify-should-know-about-new-requirements-effective

I agree it will happen, but leading with the violent criminals and gang bangers is a better strategy. I would also like to see ICE show up at a Home Depot parking lots in the morning. A week of doing that at multiple Home Depots will end that method of hiring illegals. Pressure on numerous illegal gathering points will lead to them self deporting.
It’s also going to be fun to see some employers arrested.

Sadly, every criminal known to Chicago law enforcement – they were told to leave the criminals alone and not cooperate with Federal law enforcement. Chicago and IL – had enough of the nonsense yet?

As usual, the fear mongering only shows their lack of common sense thinking. Encourage illegals to be afraid of leaving their homes. If ICE really wanted indiscriminate sweeps of illegals, they could just target neighborhoods based on known demographics. Dems and media have done all they could to make sure everyone is home. A lot easier than chasing criminals all over town.

Maybe ICE really isn’t just trying to pick up random illegals after all. But if that’s what they wanted, the left is certainly trying to make it easier.

Count me overwhelmed! That’s 100 fewer really bad dudes that roamed the streets under Biden and he did nothing! Things are going really! Probably the best first week of any presidency in the history of the United States.

Count you with people underwhelmed that Trump hasn’t straightened out the mess of the last four years in a week.

LOL!

He also hasn’t increased egg production to lower the price of eggs.

What’s he been doing the last 10 days?

“Underwhelmed?” Ridiculous!
