"Chicago Governor" Pritzker has dialed down his rhetoric a bit recently. Now he's saying stuff like "not welcome" and he's asking Abbott not to send troops. (hexbear.net)

Libs get so worked up about typos.

Jesus Christ you're a news organization and you don't know the difference between a mayor and a governor, a state and a city, and who runs each.

Why have we not heard at all from Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson? I've heard there is a lot of discontent with him across the political spectrum, but still

All I know about him is this - Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signs order prohibiting use of city property for immigration enforcement

I thought Johnson used the phrase "ICE-free zones" so I was going make fun of him for that because what he did was pretty mild. I was all wrong. He didn't use that term - the White House did.

The White House responded to the executive order in a statement, saying in part, "Today, in a disgusting betrayal of every law-abiding citizen, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declared city spaces as 'ICE-free zones.' Johnson's pathetic excuse that enforcing our nation's immigration laws somehow "undermines community trust" exposes his true loyalty: to criminal illegal alien predators, not the terrified families of Chicago."

I remember it was a great moment when he was elected. He has close ties to teacher's unions. I haven't kept up with it that closely since then but I've heard comrades speak negatively about him not long ago.
