Keep in mind this woman is an elected County Board member and is trying to get votes to make her Normal’s Township Supervisor:

Donald Trump has stated criminal illegal immigrants are his first target for deportation. Tom Homan has stated families are welcome to be deported with the criminal. If I had a criminal family member I’d want that person gone.
The comments to this post are priceless, go to her Facebook page. The word “illegal” never appears. These people must believe criminals are just here for a better life. One asks if Trump voters approve.
Yes they do. Allowing millions of unvetted invaders in this country to rape, kill, and steal from citizens is why Trump won.
One would think the person complaining about a housing shortage and increasing rents would appreciate eliminating part of the problem.
I’m sure none of the commentors understand that correlation. They think the housing shortage materialized out of thin air.
Chicago and the suburbs didn’t vote dark blue in November. I bet they want the criminal aliens gone too.
Go back to the title. One person actually put that in a comment with the question mark.
We aren’t the same. Able’s side doesn’t believe in borders or law and order. It isn’t “evil” to defend the citizens who own this country. The goal of immigration policy is to improve the country. It isn’t to replace people who left Illinois with welfare recipients and criminals.
Illinois has spent $622 billion on illegals since 11/1/2023. They are the priority, not citizens.

You reported that Krystle is a fan of your page, so maybe she will read this. ICE is coming. Approximately 655,000 illegals are criminals in this nation. Some have convictions and some are pending. Our jails are overflowing and you don’t care about tax money to operate these facilities or you think we should sing and hold hands while releasing them all. There are 1.4 million that have been ORDERED by a judge to go home. Yes, an immigration judge ordered them to be removed. If they procreated while here, that is a problem they did on their own. Also Krystle, people are watching. We are watching to see what is any effort any city council or county board takes to ignore ICE. We are watching to see what our leadership in police departments does in these matters. Federal law TRUMPS state law.
Only thing evil going on here is your thinking. We the people are tired of it all. Maybe we the people can ensure your failure on the ballot.
I don’t remember ever saying she reads stories
You know she reads them.
Family’s don’t need to be torn apart. There should be no orphans. When you deport the parents send the kids with them. That regulation or law that says if you’re born here you’re a citizen should not be. It should only be if one parent is a citizen.
Migrants regardless of immigration status are protected from deportation by IL law. ICE policy does not apply in Illinois as it is a sanctuary state.
Federal law trumps state law
Federal Immigration Law takes precedence over state and local law. Illegal Aliens WILL BE DEPORTED.
From the AP about the Chicago raids – “immigration officers will target more than 300 people with histories of egregious, violent crimes next week”
Krystle lacks common sense which means she can’t think critically and is therefore also gullible. She should not be in a leadership position in our government.
I have a message to all you bleeding heart liberals.
We our country USA has a law if you are from another country you cannot just walk across our border. If you do you have broken our law and are considered a criminal and you are here illegally.
For those that say this is not true I would ask that all of you open your front door to your house you allow any and all that have crossed our border illegally to come live in your house you feed them you pay for their medical care you pay for their children’s education do all that and I might listen and I say might listen to how wrong I am to feel the way that I feel.
And God forbid that one that you let into your house does harm to you or one of your loved ones!
Trumps Law > Pritzkers Law.
I hope all NAZI will suffer when Trump policies will raise prices and explode inflation. I hope you’re happy when entire industries collapse because the immigrants you want to deport are those who work in those job. If you want to pick fruits and vegetables in 100 degrees heat, go at it. Those are the jobs immigrants are doing for us. Also the tariffs on Mexico means all the fruits and vegetables will be expensive. You’re crying about prices now, in a year they will be more expensive.
Trump wants to ignore the 14 Amendment. What other pieces of the constitution does he want to ignore? Due process? You’re guilty not innocent when you’re arrested?
Yes, when the concentration camps are built and everybody you hate is gone, our Constitution will never be the same. All the words that our Founder’s wrote will mean nothing if a president can ignore its Amendments. What would happen if another president decided to end the 2nd Amendment?
So all you NAZI’s are cheering for the end of our Constitution. All the NAZIS here bloviating hatred here are despicable idiots.
Just like his first 4 years? TDS is real folks.
KATIE yours is possibly the most ignorant, stupid, and vapid post I’ve read on this site. Bet your head has exploded if you are watching the inauguration!! 😁😁
Luckily the area spends a lot on mental health
😂😂😂😂 That is the biggest bunch of BS!
Something chilling just occurred to me; the likelihood that illegal aliens will scatter like cockroaches when ICE goes into Chicago! With the BloNo leadership we have they’re highly likely to follow I55 directly here! With similar results to the Cabrini-Green debacle we enjoyed some years ago after Normal welcomed those residents….. like turning wolves into a sheep pen. Normal had to build a police substation in north Normal to deal with it!!!! A council woman’s husband was beat to death out side of then Cubs Food in North Normal for a few dollars by some new residents….
That very same thought came to me too!
