Once again hath Oak Park smote a trembling ICE a mighty blow. First it declared itself a sanctuary city, then rid itself of crime fighting license plate cameras, then it partially blocked some but not all entrances to city hall with cement barriers to limit ICE access to just the other entrances, and has now gone really rogue with this leaf blower thingy.
“calling authorities on people here to do a service feels icky” Yes! And not just landscapers.
Enforcing a law based on Race/National Origin?
Someone light the BondiSignal and call in the DOJ to jump on this.
It’s ICE who discriminates by apparent race/origin.
I am seeing all different types of races/origins busted by ICE. Take the Hanover Park cop as one example.
The kings and queens of oak park making up the laws as they go. Equal protection out the window, selective enforcement is now the rule of the Royalty. The oak parkian people love the slave labor.
So if you are a resident you get fined for using a gas blower. If you are illegal you are good. I guess their greenhouse emissions are based on the country you are from. What in the world are they thinking.
Oak Park never fails to disappoint!
