Not a suburban Dad (who's an ex-county prosecutor). This occurred in a residential neighborhood on Chicago's north side. But, yeah, we could use his energy.

FOTUS is afraid of how SCOTUS might rule on the tarrifs case. He said he intends to go to the oral argument (& stare at his justices just in case they need reinforcement as to how to rule). G*d forbid.

Pritzker is not a law enforcement officer. Under what authority/law may the governor arrest federal agents?

Thanks for this info.

The regime is firing immigration judges all over the country. It has no intention of reducing the backlog, only in reducing the number of foreign born in the country.

Such a contrast with the usual news story quoting law enforcement's side of the story. Richly detailed report of neighbors' and witnesses' experiences with the latest Chicago raids today. Thanks, reporter @royalpratt.bsky.social.

And you propose or believe the guv do what exactly? Besides what he - & the AG - are doing?

And Gov Pritzker set up a commission to collect all this evidence. Someday we'll need & use it against them, he said.

To ask the question is to answer it.

That's pretty much what one of the federal judges hearing cases against ICE/CBP said! Before she said the feds' version of events is 'unreliable'.

True, both counts. But I fear that Bovino (autocorrect to Bovine🤭), like the regime top to bottom, doesn't give a rat's derriere about the law, federal judges or their orders. He'll find out Tuesday that Judge Ellis means business.

sbrann.bsky.social @sbrann.bsky.social · 14h

Neither should the government, whether the employees are favored by FOTUS & Vought or not.

It is indeed Bovino. He told CBS, quoted in Heather's posted piece: 'The use of force that I’ve seen has been exemplary — the least amount of force necessary to accomplish the mission...If someone strays into a pepper ball, then that’s on them. Don’t protest and don’t trespass.'

Someone 'strayed into a pepper ball?' Tell that to Judge Ellis.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

So the current drooling, mentally incompetent & incoherent, physically deteriorated incumbent may not last to 2028. He has lots of spawn to step in & still sell the T***p 2028 merch.

There are so many Trumps in the wings & in our face, even Bannon would support a substitute & still sell the 2028 merch.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Governor JB Pritzker today signed Executive Order 2025-06 to establish the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC), an independent board tasked with capturing and creating a public record of the conduct of federal law enforcement agents and recommending actions to hold the federal government accountable as they continue conducting military-style operations in Chicago, collar counties, and other areas throughout the state.
