The night Chicago died
The law is clear: every officer, regardless of rank or jurisdiction, has a duty to protect life. The moral obligation is even clearer. When a federal agent calls for help, politics must never dictate whether that call is answered.

 This past Saturday a group of ICE agents was conducting a routine patrol on Chicago's South Side when they were attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. They called for help from local police, but the Chicago PD were ordered by their chief of patrol to stand down and not provide assistance. The internal messages which local officials then lied about provide the indisputable evidence:

Chicago police ordered to ignore Border Patrol agents’ plea for help while surrounded by angry mob of protesters

"The Chicago Police Department disputed the claims, saying its officers were on the scene.

“To clarify misinformation currently circulating, CPD officers did in fact respond to the shooting scene involving federal authorities on Saturday to maintain public safety and traffic control,” the department said in a statement to Fox.

“The Chicago Police Department will always respond to anyone who is being attacked or is under the threat of physical harm,” the department added. “For incidents involving federal immigration enforcement, CPD supervisors will respond to the scene and determine the appropriate course of action in accordance with City law.”

Ten cars had surrounded the federal agents, Trump officials said."

Chicago police ordered to ignore Border Patrol agents’ plea for help while surrounded by angry mob of protesters


This is the kind of thing that happened in blue cities during the many months of the 2020 riots. I don't know how a police officer can follow such orders when other members of law enforcement are in danger, but this is the country the left created. As in the 1860's the country is engaged in a civil war with states and regions that are trying to nullify federal law. It is a shame that such people as the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois were ever elected to begin with, but there is a lot that goes into that evil mix. 

Long ago, Abraham Lincoln settled the matter of states trying to nullify federal law. The idea that mayors of cities like Portland or Chicago have the right to ignore federal law and not even protect the basic rights of their own citizens is no different than when Governor George Wallace of Alabama stood in the schoolhouse door. JFK federalized the Alabama National Guard, and everyone accepted it. I guess people were much more moral back then.

I only hope that at some point the federal government will find a way to hold the left accountable.

Two reasons:

1) The vast majority of illegals simply walked into the country. That number is anywhere between 10 - 20 million.

2) A request does not validate entry & taking up residence.

False.

Rational patriotic non-xenophobic Americans know the truth and the lies pushed by Trump and his bigoted base aren't fooling anyone. Did millions come across the border during the Biden administration? Yes. And millions were sent home. Saying they were "allowed" is pure horseshit. Those who were "allowed" were following the law under existing asylum rules.

US deportations under Biden surpass Trump's 2019 record

Biden carried out the highest level of deportations since 2014, new report says | CNN Politics

Assertion: There are 15-20 million undocumented immigrants living in the country.

Response:   Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has asserted that his deportation plan would remove   15-20 million   undocumented persons from the country. This is strongly overstated. According to   estimates   from the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS), 10.9 million undocumented immigrants reside in the United States, based on Census Bureau and American Community Service (ACS) data. Other organizations, including the Department of Homeland Security, have produced   similar estimates .

Moreover, over 40 percent of the undocumented population in the country are individuals who have   overstayed   their visas, not entered through the US-Mexico border. Finally, while the number of undocumented in the country increased by 650,000 from 2020-2022, other undocumented individuals and families, especially from   Mexico   and Asian countries, have been leaving the United States.

Assertion: More than 10 million undocumented immigrants have flooded across our border during the Biden administration, while the Trump administration saw the lowest number of crossings in United States history.

Response:   This is a misleading statement, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) characterizes border crossings as “ encounters ,” when migrants are encountered by the Border Patrol and can be returned. According to DHS, over   4 million   of migrants encountered have been returned and   20-25 percent   encountered are repeat offenders, severely lowering the total amount during the Biden administration.

In addition, the asylum-seekers who have been released into the country lawfully, having been vetted and processed by DHS and given a notice to appear for court proceedings. The number of migrants who have crossed undetected into the United States is much   lower .

Annual apprehensions at the border increased nearly   15 percent   under President Trump until the border was closed under Title 42 in 2020. Moreover, the Trump administration released a   higher percentage   of migrants into the country than the Biden administration, by 52.2 percent to 48.6 percent over a two-year period.

You can request asylum from anywhere. It is not a criminal act. 

If you hate it so much. maybe you should be asking why Republicans never did anything about asylum law when they had the trifecta in Trump's first term.

And I suppose dementia boy is supposed to be Biden, but Jesus fucking Christ, have you been listening to Trump lately? Biden doesn't hold a candle to that. He's flat out of his friggin' mind.

All you did is verify what I said. The figure is anywhere between 10 - 20 million or even greater. Nobody knows.

The point is that the Obama people who surrounded the brain-dead Biden opened the southern border to the third world. They were happy to do it and they violated the nation's immigration law.

The asylum law states you have to either go to a US embassy in a nearby country or come through in a designated approved entry site. That does not mean crossing the Rio and claiming asylum when you get to the other side. There is no reason to change that but dementia boy, or whoever was controlling him, took it upon himself to let people claim asylum no matter where they came in at. 

"In accordance with U.S. law, to apply for asylum, an individual must be physically present in the United States or arrive at a port of entry".

.

The rest of your rant was nothing more than a but Truuuuuuuuuuuuump deflection.

Border Patrol agents are walking around downtown Chicago arresting and harassing people because they are not white.  Anyone who thinks this practice and behavior is sustainable in a free America has lost their mind.

That’s not a bad statement from the police chief, some professional pride must have finally kicked in.  I cant imagine what it’s like to be a cop in that city run by a pro crime mayor and governor.  The stand down order probably came from the mayor.

Funny shit is the fact that they yelled and screamed that immigration law was for the feds NOT the states a few years back as we all have witnessed. So here we are. The feds are trying to enforce the law and the locals think they can interfere with that process. Well, that's what one would call tough shit.

Careful what you ask for.............

This past weekend the President was in Norfolk to celebrate the Navy's 250th Anniversary.

I watched the entire speech the President made at Norfolk. There are a few videos on you tube and none of them are complete or do the event justice. I chose this one for a reason. During that speech I noticed a female sailor in the background just over Trump's left shoulder. She was the only female one could see in the group standing behind him. For some reason I always had an eye on her. You might notice the pretty blonde girl when you go to 2:00 of the tape. At some point during the speech when Trump was rambling on about a battle that had "torpedoes flying in all directions," she began to shake her head and walked out. I couldn't stop laughing.

However, in this tape that sequence of events is not there. You might notice that suddenly she is gone.



No big deal. I just found it funny.
