DHS SURPERS OF ILLINOIS officials while the overvoltage of the National Guard is looming for Chicago

The Ministry of Internal Security maintains the pressure on Illinois leaders in the midst of an increase in the application of the laws on the National and Federal Guard in Chicago, while the Democratic Governor JB Pritzker says that it would be a possible “invasion”.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that he would send the federals to Chicago after the Washington federal takeover, many reports suggested that the immigration authorities could be stationed in the region in the operation.

“He can talk about what he is doing an excellent job as governor, but he fails these families who will no longer have their child with them, their mother or their father, or their cousin, aunt and uncle, who left forever because of the violence that occurs in Chicago,” said that DHS leaders Kristi Noem said on the administration of CBS.

“They do not even honor our detainees in Chicago,” added the secretary, because the prisoners play a key role in keeping an individual behind bars so that they can be transferred from local guard to federal guard. In an article Tuesday, DHS said “it is disgusting” that the governor “chooses to fight for the violent illegal extraterrestrial killers in Chicago instead of his American voters”.

The federal government can technically have a certain degree of surveillance on the capital’s police forces, but there are now troops of the National Guard and federal agencies such as ice and the FBI in the streets of DC in order to limit crime, including arrests related to immigration.

“At least 54 people were killed in Chicago during the weekend, 8 people were killed. The last two weekends were similar. Chicago is by far the worst and the most dangerous city in the world,” Trump on Trum Social on Tuesday.

“Pritzker is in need of help, he doesn’t know it yet. I will quickly solve the crime problem, just as I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon.

Fox News Digital reported that various serious criminal arrests by the DHS have already been carried out in the Chicago region since Trump took office in January, including illegal immigrants recognized guilty of homicide and sexual crimes against children.

The mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, a democrat, already takes solid measures to limit the federal influence in the city, in particular by signing an executive decree constructing the capacity of the local police to work with the federal authorities.

“This decree clearly clearly indicates that this president will not come and depress our police service,” said Johnson at a press conference.

“We will protect our constitution, we will protect our city and protect our people,” he continued. “We don’t want to see tanks in our streets. We don’t want to see torn families. We don’t want grandmothers to be thrown at the back of unmarked vans. We don’t want to see the harassed homeless chicagoans or disappeared by federal agents.”

Friday, Pritzker nicknamed the possibility of a deployment of troops in the city an “invasion”.

“It is clear that, in secret, they predict this. Well, it is an invasion with American troops, if they do it in fact,” Pritzker told Ed O’Keefe de CBS.
