Nobody cared when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were deporting illegals. Everyone agreed legal immigration was good, border chaos was bad.
Suddenly the progressive ruling class in Illinois pays illegals to come here and charging taxpayers for their care. ICE actually does the job outlined in the law passed by both parties in Congress, and progressives buy lawyers for them with your money.
Media cries tears that ICE is picking up illegals, no tears ever for victims of illegals: Katie Abrams, Michael and Gail Clayton, Sheridan Gorman – just to name a few.

Contracts amount to slightly over ONE MILLION DOLLARS to obstruct ICE.
Progressives run Illinois. Taxpayers are immaterial to their agenda. You get to pay for Illinois to break federal law.
Let’s never forget Kathryn Steinle ,11 years ago walking on a pier in San Francisco with her father,a person in our country illegally fires a gun the bullet hits Kathryn in the back of her head and she dies. The rest of the story this illegal had been arrested and was in a San Francisco jail ICE said keep him there until we can come and get him. But San Francisco being a sanctuary city he was released a few weeks later he picks up a gun fires it and an American is dead.
11 years ago and nothing has changed as a matter of fact it has gotten worse let’s hear it for all the leftists demoncrats that support death to Americans over those here illegally.
I will never forget I attended a Bloomington council meeting carrying a sign that said remember Kathryn Steinle when the Bloomington council people and mayor wanted to make Bloomington a sanctuary city, a lot of good that did.
Wake up America!
Bloomington does not have a sanctuary city ordinance. The City is required to abide by State law which prohibits officials from asking immigration status.
Bloomington City Council rejected the Welcoming City Ordinance, unlike the Town of Normal.
You’re supporting secret police force that is masked, unaccountable and violent. They have incarcerated and mistreated 3 year- year-olds and those who have committed no crime. ICE tactics are oppressive and have no. place in the United States.
ICE has murdered two American citizens, shot a disabled American shooting her 5 times. Detention camps are concentration camps were conditions are so poor, no one would subject a pet to those conditions. Hate and xenophobia are the tools used by this fascists administration.
Neither Obama nor any other president used these inhumane tactics.
Get better media a start supporting families of illegal alien murders. Illinois Democrats don’t even acknowledge them.
Two deaths were to people like you trying to prevent deportation of criminals. No tears for the indoctrinated.
“Neither Obama nor any other president used these inhumane tactics.”
I mean, it is so easy to disprove your obvious and biased lie. Literally the first two pages of a relevant google search returned the following:
“FRONTLINE investigated complaints of abuse and harsh treatment as detentions and deportations of undocumented immigrants reached record levels during former President Barack Obama’s first term. (Aired Oct. 18, 2011)”

” Since 2014, thousands of Central American women and children seeking asylum have been held in private jails. Despite complaints of medical neglect and poor oversight, the Obama administration resisted calls to end the practice.”

“During the Obama administration, 56 individuals have died while in ICE custody. This report focuses on eight deaths during a three-year period (2010 to 2012).”
https://immigrantjustice.org/press-release/report-shows-poor-medical-care-led-to-deaths-at-u-s-detention-centers/
“The Obama administration’s massive expansion of family detention began in the summer of 2014 and will incarcerate thousands of asylum-seeking children and mothers who are fleeing extreme violence in the Northern Triangle region of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) this year. ”

“Jhon Benavides Quintana was one of 12 people who died in ICE custody in fiscal year 2024—the deadliest under President Joe Biden. At least 26 people have died in ICE custody during the Biden administration. ”
https://prismreports.org/2025/01/15/biden-immigration-migrant-deaths/
“Public records obtained through a public-records suit show that Ramos’s shooting was not an isolated case. It was one of 59 shootings by ICE officers from 2015 to 2021 that took place across 26 states and two U.S. territories, including two that were self-inflicted. At least 24 people were injured in the shootings.Twenty-three were killed.”
This report of ICE shooting deaths overlaps partial years of Obama, Trump entire first, and Biden’s term.
https://www.thetrace.org/2024/08/ice-agents-immigration-enforcement-violence/
So were the deaths, ICE shootings, identical enforcement tactics, child imprisonment, poor prison conditions a problem during Obama’s 2 terms, Trump’s 1st term, and biden’s term? Or are they only now a problem, since Orange Man is Bad?
Writer must think they asked illegals to get in the backseat and they did.
@Perry
This has to be the single worst kept “secret” I’ve ever seen. You sound kind of hysterical. Do you need a fainting couch?
Also, I see you lie about as convincingly as our governor. I bet you believe that there really is a commercially available firearm that shoots 60 rounds PER SECOND just because Porky Pritzker said there was.
Newsflash, thee of short memory. Remember the “kids in cages” nonsense? Remember how everyone tried to blame Trump? Remember how it came out that the pictures were of Obama administration policies and during his term?
I do. And I’m not the only one.
Please, stop lying so much. You know you’re lying. We know you’re lying. Just stop.
The left pions don’t know they are lying. They never hear truth or look for it.
I know that the council did not pass the ordinance maybe my message helped regardless the city supports sanctuary ordinances plus I believe they supported something else don’t remember what they called it.
Here we go call ICE secret police there are a few bad apples that will be taken out but those that you call bad have killed damn few compared to how many illegals have killed Americans. 7 illegal semi truck drivers to date have killed what 20 or more Americans. Bottom line no one would be dead if they stayed on the other side of the border.
Oh by the way how many ICE are trafficking illegal children none but your illegal adults are trafficking thousands but hey ICE are illegal police so let the trafficking continue.
I’m done enough said just praying for all those families that have lost loved ones killed by those that have crossed the border illegally!
Not to mention the ignorance of the supporters of illegal immigratoin exploitation. Familes are in fact broken up as children are trafficked across the border. Many as sex slaves, very cheap labor and owing the cartels their livelhoods. No. No admission of that loss of life quality for those innocents. The whole thing is a racket enriching others through the exploitatin of others gnorance.
