Cook County, IL, Slides Toward Full-Blown Insurrection As Judges Try to Stop Immigration Enforcement
streiff
Cook County, Illinois, seems to have entered a full-blown state of insurrection against federal authority. In the wake of a federal judge contravening federal law and deciding that the president could not mobilize Illinois National Guard troops to protect U.S. property in Illinois, others have jumped on the bandwagon.
The first strike was foreshadowed when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was barred from entering Broadview City Hall, and Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills said he would have ICE-erected crowd-control fencing and barriers removed because they were erected "without permits;" see Illinois City Bars DHS Secretary Noem From City Hall and Intends to Tear Down ICE-Installed Barricades – RedState.
Now Biden-appointed LaShonda Hunt has ordered the protective barriers around the Broadview ICE building removed. This is a move that seems calculated to increase violence and the probability of creating martyrs for the left, because there is no public good in the order. In a statement by Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino, it was acknowledged that the fences came down shortly before midnight Tuesday.
We kept that fence up as long as we could—Up until the very last hour last night, that’s how important that fence was to us…
This is a situation in which I disagree with the Trump administration's policy of complying with all court orders, no matter how bizarre. The correct answer, in my opinion, was "Molon labe." This decision was an obvious political move that puts both law enforcement and protesters at increased risk. It doesn't deserve to be obeyed.
