From the New York Post,
4 protesters arrested outside Chicago DHS facility as anti-ICE protesters unleash chaos: report.
It was the Illinois state police who took the brunt on this encounter,
Four anti-ICE protesters were arrested at a chaotic demonstration outside a DHS facility in Chicago on Friday after a federal judge blocked President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to the Windy City.
Illinois State police in riot gear clashed with an unruly crowd near the ICE facility in Broadview as protests continue to rage in Chicago in the wake of Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown, WLS reported.
About that judge’s ruling: so Trump is acknowledged to the be commander-in-chief, in charge of all of the military, including the state national guards, but he is not allowed to deploy said resources to protect federal facilities from attack. Because reasons.
South Carolina should have made this argument back in 1861. Why didn’t they think of it?
More local grand jury nullification,
Trump sent several hundred National Guard soldiers to protect DHS agents as they carry out deportations in Chicago — but on Thursday, Biden-appointed District Judge April Perry granted Illinois’ request for a temporary restraining order to block the National Guard deployment.
Friday’s demonstration came a day after protesters Ray Collins and Jocelyn Robledo — who were carrying loaded weapons when they clashed with ICE officers outside the same Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 27 — had their felony charges dropped after a local grand jury refused to indict them.
This will get worse, long before it gets better.
