ICE agents under attack in Chicago as governor resists Trump order

While the Trump administration has only been in office for about nine months, the attacks against ICE agents are reportedly up more than 1,000% since Trump took office.

I believe this is due to Democrat rhetoric, which has tried to portray ICE agents as the Gestapo rather than doing their job.

Tensions are rising high in Democrat states, including in Illinois, where agents were reportedly boxed in by protesters.

No Bathroom Break for You

The fight between DHS and Illinois is starting to get quite petty.

Case in point, Secretary Noem and several agents had stopped at a local law enforcement facility to use the bathrooms, but they were refused entrance into the facility.

Noem explained, "My team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois.

"We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year. This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful."

Pritzker Says Trump Making Chicago a War Zone

From the outside looking in, Trump is winning this battle by making Illinois Democrats defend the fact that crime is running rampant in the city.

Over a 48-hour period this weekend, there were more than a dozen shootings, yet the state’s governor says everything is fine and the bad orange man is the one getting it wrong.

He stated, “They were going after a few gang members, and instead they broke windows. They broke down doors, they ransacked the place, and there were people that were held. I mean, elderly people and children zip tied, elderly people held for three hours at a time. They are the ones that are making it a war zone.”

Pritzker went on to say that Chicago is not a war zone, yet more people die in that city every year than die in some war zones. I just don’t understand why Pritzker will not accept federal help, at the very least, and insists that his state is a safe state when the crime stats tell a far different story. Not to mention what happened this past weekend in the city.

Boxed In

Democrats have painted this ridiculous picture about ICE agents, and the liberal horde is buying in, with assaults against agents continuing to rise.

On Saturday, federal agents were boxed in by 10 cars near Broadview, forcing agents to fire their weapons as a defensive measure against their attackers. In one case, the driver of the car rammed a police vehicle. Reports are now surfacing that the Chicago Police were told NOT to help the federal agents by the Patrol Sergeant.

More than a dozen people were reportedly arrested, with the Chicago US Attorney’s Office stated, "This Department of Justice does not tolerate assaults and obstruction of our brave men and women in federal law enforcement. We will investigate and prosecute all those who assault or obstruct federal law enforcement, including public officials, and we will hold them accountable to the full extent of the law."

I have long stated that my biggest concern about this is that there will eventually be loss of life. If and when that happens, that blood is on the hands of Democrats. We have seen assassination attempts against Trump, Charlie Kirk assassinated, and attacks against ICE, all attributable to rhetoric from the Democrats. Yet, they continue to spew venom every chance they get.
