“President Trump wanted an excuse to send National Guard troops to Chicago, and now he’s got one. The Windy City in recent days has done its best imitation of Los Angeles, where resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations created the justification for a Guard deployment a couple months ago. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson hate the notion of the National Guard in the streets of the city, but have failed to rally Chicago residents to do the one thing necessary to avoid the deployment — let federal officers do their job. The word should have gone out long ago: Don’t riot outside ICE facilities. Don’t ram cars into ICE vehicles.” [editor’s note: The word should have gon out long ago to beat the ICE thugs down hard so they quit being thugs and get real jobs – TLK] (10/07/25)
