Trump Deportation

Blurb:

JB Pritzker is at it again, attempting to rile up his base by threatening the Trump Administration.

The Illinois Governor is now threatening to throw ICE and other federal agents in PRISON.

Tell me you want to run for President as a Democrat without telling me you want to run for President as a Democrat.

Pritzker made the comments during an interview this week in which he trashed ICE, CBP, and the Trump Administration in general.

How over the edge is the left in Los Angeles County? A lot. They proved it, big time, with the move they made on Tuesday.

Los Angeles County officials voted Tuesday to declare a state of emergency that gives them power to provide assistance for residents they say have suffered financially from ongoing federal immigration raids.

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants. [….]

The local state of emergency can also funnel state money for legal aid and other services.

Democrats are keeping the government closed for the sake of “No Kings” mass protests scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18.

We already have a no kings day – it’s called July 4th.

Ironic, is it not, that the far left radicals who refuse to accept the results of the Presidential election are whining about “kings.”

Mexican drug cartels have seen their profits decimated as the Trump administration ramps up its drone strikes on traffickers and pressures the country’s government to root out corruption and supply chains. Now, the drug lords are striking back, offering contract killers five-figure paydays to kill federal agents.

An epicenter of the conflict is Chicago which, although far from the southern border, has become a battleground between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the cartels supplying the windy city with drugs and illegal immigrants.

Luis Gerardo Pirela-Ramirez and Yonder Enrique Tenefe-Perez were taken into custody on Tuesday morning for allegedly ramming the vehicle and attempting to flee the scene.

Two Venezuelan illegal immigrants were arrested in Chicago on Tuesday after allegedly ramming their vehicle into a Border Patrol vehicle.

A senior DHS source told Fox News that Luis Gerardo Pirela-Ramirez and Yonder Enrique Tenefe-Perez were taken into custody on Tuesday morning for allegedly ramming the vehicle near South Avenue N and attempting to flee the scene.

After federal agents raided an apartment building in Chicago to arrest Tren de Aragua gang members, MSNBC personalities repeatedly spread the fake news that agents zip-tied children. And, even though no one died in the raid, they also promoted hyperbolic comparisons to the Gestapo, the Tulsa killings of 1921, and the MOVE Philadelphia bombing of 1985.

Fox News not only highlighted DHS’s fact check that debunks Democrat misinformation on the subject, but Fox reporters also informed viewers that most of those living in the building were illegal squatters.

Skirmishes between ICE and “activists” continue to break out in Chicago, and some “journalists” are learning that claiming that title after the fact isn’t a get-out-of-detainment-free card.

Despite the Democrat-led city being ravaged by a murder epidemic, mostly caused by out-of-control gang violence, left-wingers have decided that the real problem is ICE deporting violent illegal aliens. Using tracking apps and other means, they show up at facilities and during raids to try to impede federal immigration officials. One of those people was Debbie Brockman, who is a video editor and producer for the creative services department of Chicago television station WGN.

Video shows her pinned on the ground by ICE agents as she’s detained and placed in the back of a vehicle. During the scene, she started proclaiming she’s a journalist.

Blurb:

“If you see something happening in Wilmette, in our communities, make sure to give them a call, take out your phone and take video.”

A Democrat running for Illinois State Senate, Patrick Hanley, revealed that agents were staying at a local hotel and urged his followers to call the hotel in an effort to get them to “reconsider whether or not they let government agents stay there in the future.” He also urged his followers to call an ICE reporting hotline if they “see something happening.”

Tensions flared outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland on Saturday as Antifa agitators squared off with federal law enforcement. Then an unexpected development occurred. A group of demonstrators arrived carrying a massive painting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The group sang “God Bless the USA” and chanted “We are Charlie Kirk” as federal agents stood between them and the crowd of left-wing agitators gathered nearby.

Kirk, a conservative American icon, was assassinated on September 10, 2025. The suspect is a far-leftist who had Antifa messages on his bullet casings.

Country singer Zach Bryan’s country song soon to be released contains lyrics that seem to be anti-ICE. He wrote, “ICE is gonna come bust down your door, try to build a house no one builds no more, but I got a telephone, kids are all scared and all alone.”

He has responded to the backlash in a lengthy almost-backtrack, writing

Blurb:

… “I wrote this song months ago. I posted this song three months ago as a snippet,” Bryan wrote on his Instagram Story.

“This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media,” he said, before professing his love for America. This song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything. When you hear the rest of the song you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle.”

“Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are. We need to find our way back… I served this country, I love this country and the song itself is about all of us coming out of this divided space. I wasn’t speaking as a politician or some greater-than-thou asshole, just a 29 year old man who is just as confused a everyone else.”

Judge Frees Chicago Protesters Charged with Ramming CBP Vehicle, Pending Trial

from www.newsbusters.org

Blurb:

On Tuesday, a judge released pending trial the two suspects arrested for ramming and boxing in a vehicle driven by a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent in Chicago on Saturday, saying they were not a flight risk and could be trusted to appear in court.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Heather McShain was the judge who presided over the detention hearing, Judge McShain said, given that both are U.S. citizens and lifelong residents of Chicago with no criminal history, they can be released on bond, pending trial, WGN Chicago reports.

Marimar Martinez – reportedly armed with a semi-automatic weapon – and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz were participating in a protest against federal immigration law enforcement in the city when they allegedly rammed the CBP vehicle and attempted to box it in.

According to the criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Martinez and Ruiz used their vehicles to strike the vehicle containing three CBP agents Saturday morning near the intersection of West 39th Street and South Kedzie Avenue on Chicago’s Southwest Side….

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, opened the oversight hearing of the Department of Justice (DOJ) pushing a new narrative Democrats have latched on to: the lie that ICE agents zip-tied children during a Chicago raid.

“In the middle of the night, federal agents pulled women and children out of their beds, crashed down the doors to their homes, destroyed their apartments, zip-tied children and others, and detained immigrants and U.S. citizens alike for hours in vans,” Durbin claimed. “When one witness complained about the treatment of the small children, an agent laughed at her and said, ‘F them kids.’”

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker gave a dramatic description of this same story during a Monday press conference and has been repeating it every chance he gets.

But Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin posted that “children were never zip-tied.”

“This is a shameful and disgusting lie. POTUS Trump and Secretary Noem will not let children be exploited and trafficked by gangs and criminals like the past administration.”

Pope Leo XIV is being lobbied by Catholic bishops and nuns to endorse more migration flows, regardless of the vast civic and economic damage inflicted on citizens, Western societies, and the migrants’ home countries.

So far, the Pope is responding with generalities without detailed policy implications or direct opposition to Trump’s popular deportation of illegal migrants,

“In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” the Pope declared on October 5.

“Often [migrants] maintain their strength while seeking a better future, in spite of the obstacles that they encounter,” Leo said Oct. 2 in a meeting with Catholic migration advocates.

“You can read into [his comments] what you want when it comes to specifics of government policy, responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower levels of migration into Americans’ society.

The mistake that people — both in and outside the Catholic Church or any other church, — is that they imagine that the lessons of the Gospel and of the Fathers of the Church are somehow a 10-Point white paper on how we should run [immigration] policy. In fact they [provide] general rules about how to think about these questions, and different people will come to different conclusions.

Masked, armed law enforcement agents who regularly violate the law and strip people of their constitutional rights is nothing new in America. They have, in fact, a long and well-documented history, including states — after years of abuse by masked men — passing laws specifically to prevent them from concealing their identities when performing law enforcement operations.

In this era, we call them Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents; during the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries they called themselves the Ku Klux Klan. They often operated with the blessing of both federal and state governments, deputized and given badges and guns, and “enforced the law” while wearing their famous white hoods to conceal their individual identities.

ICE operates today with a level of anonymity, impunity and intimidation that closely parallels the Ku Klux Klan’s tactics as masked, semi-official enforcers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both used legal or quasi-legal authority, masked identities and violent or coercive tactics to carry out their missions, all without individual accountability while targeting vulnerable minorities and subverting legal norms to do so.

A University of Chicago professor who described her employer as “evil” and a “colonial landlord” over the summer is now facing felony charges for alleged aggravated battery against a police officer.

The charges stem from sociology Professor Eman Abdelhadi’s involvement in a protest Friday near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, Illinois, The Chicago Maroon reports.

Abdelhadi was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated battery, a felony, and two counts of obstructing the peace, a misdemeanor, according to information the Cook County Sheriff’s Office provided to Fox News Digital on Monday.

In a post Monday on Bluesky, the professor appeared to suggest that law enforcement officers were the ones to blame for the violence at the protest.

“Claim: rioters attacked ICE,” Abdelhadi wrote. “Truth: ICE rushed at unarmed protesters standing on a patch of grass.”

She also reposted a video of herself yelling “Shame!” at police officers while wearing a “Free Palestine” T-shirt.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson emasculated himself by suggesting he wouldn’t deport an illegal alien who hypothetically beat up and raped his wife.

Johnson — who has been obstructing President Donald Trump’s efforts to rid his crime-infested city of violent illegal aliens — made the cowardly admission at a news conference Tuesday.

Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her.

“If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked.

Blurb:

I am willing to bet that a lot of these people don’t even care about ICE or the people affected by deportations. This is just one of the new ways to protest Trump and Republicans.

The New York Post reports:

Far-left professor Eman Abdelhadi charged with violent felonies after Chicago ICE facility riots

A far-left University of Chicago professor has been arrested and charged with violent felonies following riots at an ICE facility in the city, law enforcement has said.

Eman Abdelhadi, an associate professor in the university’s Department of Comparative Human Development, was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated battery to a government employee, a Class 3 felony, and two counts of resisting/obstruction peace, a Class A misdemeanor, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News.

Radical sociologist Abdelhadi, who previously cursed out her employer while speaking at a “Socialism 2025” conference, is due in court again on Tuesday.

Blurb:

There has been an occupation of the streets outside the Portland ICE facility for months by the anti-ICE crew.

Over that time, there’s been violence as well as harassment of the agents and the residents of the neighborhood. A resident even brought a lawsuit against the city because of the disruption. People walking through the area were treated to the vile sayings spewed all over the buildings. The actions have largely gone uncovered by the national media. However, there has been great work from brave journalists on the ground for months, including Katie Daviscourt and Shelly Boufferache (@hunnybadgermom), and we’ve covered some of their reporting.

Blurb:

With ICE facilities still facing attacks and besiegement by “protesters,” the far left has come up with a new way to “defeat” federal immigration authorities. Thankfully, this one doesn’t involve snipers on rooftops or setting things on fire. It is hilariously stupid, though, and perhaps a bit more nefarious than it first appears.

The recent trend involves demonstrators dressing up in inflatable dinosaur costumes and “dancing” in front of ICE agents. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Blurb:

US President Donald Trump has called for the imprisonment of Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois governor JB Pritzker, accusing them of failing to protect federal immigration officers. The remarks, posted on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, come amid ongoing political tensions over immigration enforcement and the deployment of federal troops in Democratic-led cities.“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE Officers! Governor Pritzker also!” Trump wrote, referring to US immigration and customs enforcement personnel operating in the city.

Trump’s comments follow a recent executive order by Johnson that designates city property as an “ICE Free Zone,” restricting federal immigration agents from using municipal facilities. The move was seen as a direct pushback against federal immigration operations within the city.Trump’s statement adds to a broader dispute over the use of the national guard in Democrat-led states. Hundreds of Texas national guard soldiers have reportedly assembled at a military facility near Chicago, despite vocal opposition from state leadership, including Johnson and Pritzker.The administration has not accused either Johnson or Pritzker of any wrongdoing legally. Both leaders have opposed Trump’s immigration policies and criticized what they see as the federal government’s overreach. Pritzker has previously accused Trump of trying to provoke unrest as a means to justify military deployments.

CBS Blames ICE for the Attempts to Kill Agents– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

Amid several attempts across the nation by left-wing extremists to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, CBS News Sunday Morning appeared to blame the actions of ICE for the attacks. CBS alluded to ICE being the source of the violence, twisted the story of a young illegal immigrant, and talked for a former ICE attorney all to allude to a false fact that ICE deserved the attempts to kill their agents. The reporter behind the segment even suggested it was a “David versus Goliath” fight.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, is now effectively the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in the nation. Some have cheered its growth. Others are wondering, when does more become too much?” chided host Jane Pauley as she introduced the segment which was delivered by correspondent Lee Cowan.

Though not explicitly calling it such, Cowan’s report essentially consisted of listing out the purported transgressions that caused ICE agents to deserve the attempts on their lives, even blaming them for the violence brought against them, and accusing them of racism:

COWAN: Thirteen members of his congregation were arrested that day. The Trump Administration no longer considers schools, and hospitals and churches “protected sensitive locations” anymore. So, the following Sunday, Father Jamie told the faithful to stay away.

(…)

COWAN: In Los Angeles, that fear turned to anger, and anger into violence [shows law enforcement shooting off tear gas].

The raids were challenged in court for being indiscriminate and based on skin color, but ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the raids could continue. Since then, in city after city, the administration has been testing the court`s limits, especially in Chicago.

GOV. JB PRITZKER (D-IL): ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.

COWAN: Late Saturday, the Trump administration federalized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard, a move Pritzker insists is unnecessary.

(…)

COWAN: In fact, this past week, while addressing top military brass, he suggested American cities could serve as “training grounds” for U.S. combat troops.

Trump’s ICE, Not Hamas, Are the Media’s ‘Gestapo’– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

Three weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the media are back to promoting full-throated Nazi smears, especially denouncing ICE agents as Trump’s “Gestapo.” The ICE raid on a Chicago apartment complex spurred a new round of wild-eyed statements that ICE are Trump’s Gestapo. Network hosts let it fester. “Fact checkers” will not get involved.

MRCTV Managing Editor Brittany Hughes and NewsBusters news analyst and Radio Libre talk show host Jorge Bonilla join the show to discuss all things immigration.

Jorge reported CBS Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan sat passively as Illinois Democrat Senator Tammy Duckworth repeated what is now known as the Zip-Tie Hoax: the debunked claim that children were zip-tied during ICE raids in Chicago. Additionally, Duckworth was allowed to incite further violence against ICE with her incendiary claim that they engage in “Gestapo tactics.”

On Saturday’s The Weekend show, MSNBC hosts Jonathan Capehart and Jackie Alemany enabled the throwing around of more Nazi references as one guest excoriated ICE as “Trump’s Gestapo,” and another called it Trump’s own “national police” that has no accountability.

It’s Hamas who reveres the Nazis, but the media empathize with them all day long.

MSNBC host Ali Velshi suggested the Chicago raid — with 37 arrests and no deaths — was “one of the darkest days in modern American history.” So ICE is like al-Qaeda on 9/11, like Timothy McVeigh bombing the federal building in Oklahoma City? Chicago faces darker moments of death every weekend on their streets.

Chicago Bans ICE In Public Areas After Withholding Police Backup– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.

FBI Foils Chicago Gang Leader’s Assassination Plot Against Senior Federal Official– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Federal agents on Monday intercepted a Chicago gang leader who they claim was hiring for the assassination of a senior official in the U.S. Border Patrol, interfering with the gang’s illicit activities.

Juan Espinoza Martinez, a leading figure in the Latin Kings, was arrested as part of “Operation Midway Blitz” after allegedly offering cash bounties to any individuals who could carry out the murder of a top official in the Border Patrol, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified the official being targeted as Commander at Large of the U.S. Border Patrol, Chief Gregory Bovino.

U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Boutros called the alleged plot “an attack on the rule of law.”

“Putting a price on the life of a law enforcement officer is an attack on the rule of law,” Boutros said. “The defendant’s actions in this case demonstrate a profound contempt for human life and public safety. Under my leadership, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago will hold defendants accountable for their grave criminal actions and ensure that no federal officer has to fear for their life for doing their job.”

According to an indictment unsealed on Monday, Martinez is one of the highest sergeants in the Latin Kings, a nationwide gang that’s been linked to bloody murders of police officers, extortion, and human and drug trafficking. DHS said Martinez is from Mexico and entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date.

Messages allegedly sent by Martinez over Snapchat stated  “2k on information when you get him” and “10k if you take him down.”

Excerpt:

 

The Democratic mayor of Chicago is trying to shut down deportation operations by creating “ICE-free zones,” but the White House doesn’t appear to respect the decision much.

Mayor Brandon Johnson made the announcement establishing the zones in a media briefing Monday. The Trump administration has put Chicago and its sanctuary-city policies in its crosshairs.

‘This is SICK. He is aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers.’

“Today we are signing an executive order aimed at reining in this out-of-control administration,” Johnson said. “The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.”

He went on to say that the city would take further steps to stop federal operations if Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalated its efforts.

Anti-American leftist anarchists are doxing, stalking, and targeting federal agents in coordinated plots across major U.S. cities, with some groups offering thousands of dollars to kidnap or kill them, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

In yet another dangerous escalation of rhetoric. The socialist mayor of Chicago was decrying efforts from ICE law enforcement officials: “For now, let me just say that we are unequivocally going to continue to reject the military occupation of our city. The Trump administration must end the war on Chicago. The Trump administration must end this war against Americans. The Trump administration must end its attempt to dismantle our democracy. Right as we are making historic progress in reducing violence, the Trump administration is seeking to destabilize our city and provoke chaos. We said that they would use ICE as a pretext to send in the National Guard, and now they are doing just that. I’ve also said for the last couple of years that the extreme right in this country refused to accept the results of the Civil War. They have repeatedly called for a rematch. In the coming weeks, we will use this opportunity to build greater resistance” (Real Clear Politics).

Call it war…because that is just what it is.

Chicago police ordered to stand down as ICE agents were surrounded by agitators | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt:

“They were saying that they were being surrounded by that large crowd and they were requesting the police and we’re not sending?”

Chicago police officers were ordered to withdraw from the scene of a violent confrontation involving federal agents on Saturday, after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in the city turned chaotic.

According to CWB Chicago, the incident began around 10:30 am when a woman called 911, reporting that an ICE agent had shot her in the 3900 block of South Kedzie Avenue. Chicago officers initially responded, but federal agents on scene said the woman was armed and part of a caravan attempting to obstruct ICE operations.

The woman, identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as 32-year-old Marimar Martinez, suffered gunshot wounds to her legs, arm, and chest and was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital. DHS said Martinez “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and has a history of doxxing federal agents.” The agency added that she “took defensive fire from CBP agents” and has since been released from the hospital and taken into FBI custody.
