Chicago City Wire

Dan Proft, hosted of Chicago’s Morning Answer on AM 560, said Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is a “defund-the-police demagogue” who provides political cover for violent offenders.

“Per Neo-Marxist governors, even ones just playing the part, like Pritzker, it is now commonplace to categorize tens of thousands of federal law enforcement officers as terrorists and racists,” Proft posted on X. “If he and his party are not held to account at the ballot box, expect more violence against police and general lawlessness on the streets.”

Profit’s post was in response to Pritzker, who had posted that, “ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.“

The clash comes as violent anti-law enforcement rioters attacked federal immigration enforcement officials outside the Broadview facility for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reported West Cook News.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs, said federal officers on patrol near Broadview were rammed and boxed in by 10 cars before firing on an armed individual.

“One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” McLaughlin posted on X. “Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” 

Federal officials recently announced the arrest of more than 800 individuals in Illinois in “Operation Midway Blitz,” which targeted criminal illegal aliens with violent records and drug trafficking ties, reported Chicago City Wire. Among those taken into custody was Cristobal Carias Masin, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of statutory rape and fraud and facing additional felony charges.
