ICE Arrests 800 in Major Illinois Sweep

ICE Arrests 800 in Major Illinois Sweep
 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol have reportedly arrested over 800 people in Illinois under Operation Midway Blitz. Community leaders from Bright Star Church criticized arrests outside their shelter without notice and raised concerns about federal enforcement methods. The operation has targeted illegal immigrants perceived as violent threats, including many with serious criminal convictions.
 
Bright Star pastor Chris Harris stated, “What they’ve portrayed is not really how things are being executed, and if what they’re saying is true, there’s a way to do it with peace and dignity.”

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “The Trump Administration will not allow violent criminals or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods or victimize our children and innocent Americans.”

Community leaders claimed the arrests have created fear among vulnerable shelter populations. Gov. JB Pritzker criticized the operations, arguing they do not improve public safety.

Bright Star Community Development Corporation executive director Caryl R. West stated, “They didn’t show us the respect to come to our facility to come and communicate with us.” He added, “We brought them here to provide shelter, and now they feel as though they don’t have any shelter.”

Do democrats have enough congressional members to dispatch to protect the rights of all these illegals?  I guess they could substitute legislators for congressional members. :whistle:

Excerpt:
America, if this doesn’t prove the radical left’s “No Kings” protests are breeding grounds for domestic terrorism, nothing will—the Democrat activist who screamed for protesters to “grab a gun” and murder ICE agents at the Chicago rally by the Progressive Labor Party has now been referred to the DOJ for prosecution by DHS. On October 18, 2025, this unhinged man, identified as Moisés Bernal Puentes, an Adult Education Manager at Wilbur Wright College in the City Colleges of Chicago system, took the mic and ranted, “You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.”



I was hoping this would happen.
What I noticed is that he is encouraging others to violence, but he didn't grab a rifle and follow his own advice. I suspect this is a nobody (or we'd know his name/recognize him), and he's championing the violence, but lacks the courage to do anything himself.

Fire his A$$ and sent him to prison.
