The head of internal security explodes Pritzker, mayor of Chicago on criminal immigrants

Friday, the Secretary of Internal Security went to Illinois on Friday to call Governor JB Pritzker and the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, accusing the two Democrats of being “obstructed” when it comes to bringing out illegal criminal immigrants from the street.

Noem, speaking in a suburbs of Chicago, underlined the recent arrests on the ice of an illegal immigrant found guilty of predatory sexual assault against a victim under the age of 13, a Polish national found guilty of attempted murder and aggravated domestic drums and an illegal immigrant to micron.

“These people would still be in our streets today committing crimes and attacking people and hurt them and injured our children if Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson had their way. Because their choice was regularly and again to release these criminals in the streets,” said Noem.

“The debate on the so-called policies of the sanctuary has real consequences and has consequences for our law enforcement agents, but also for families who live here and the companies that simply try to support their community,” she added.

Pritzker and Johnson representatives immediately responded to Fox News Digital comments on Friday.

“I am here today because the elected leaders of this state of Illinois ignore the law. In fact, they are obstructions when it comes to withdrawing dangerous criminals from their streets,” said Noem. “They decide that dangerous criminals who are murderers, rapists, money launders, have committed assault, who are milking children are more important than families who live in communities here.”

“This includes Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson and others who worked so hard to protect these dangerous criminals. They prefer to be a sanctuary state and continue to put these individuals over American citizens, American citizens who have built this country, who raised their families here for generations,” added Noem.

Noem also told journalists on Friday that “only in the past seven months, Ice has issued more than 1,664 detainees in Chicago only”, marking an “106%increase in what was issued during the Biden administration.
