The City of Chicago and the State of Illinois have declared war on the federal government over immigration enforcement. What happens next?
They sowed the wind. Now comes the whirlwind.
What began as a performative virtue-signal — Chicago declaring itself a “sanctuary city” — has escalated into a full-blown constitutional confrontation. Justice is being obstructed. Federal law enforcement is being attacked. And now, the National Guard is rolling into Chicagoland to protect federal agents from the “mayor,” the “governor,” and the mobs they’ve incited.
This is not resistance. This is sedition.
Not Fort Dearborn, Fort Sumter
In 1861, South Carolina troops fired on Fort Sumter. That act of rebellion launched the Civil War. Today, the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois aren’t firing artillery — they’re firing press releases, policy memos, lawsuits, and street-level sabotage. But make no mistake: the target is the same. Federal sovereignty. Federal enforcement. Federal agents.
The mayor of Chicago went as far as to suggest with apparent dead seriousness that the Chicago Police Department (CPD) ought to arrest federal officers who in their estimation violate Chicago law while enforcing federal law! Apparently, he hasn’t heard of the constitutional precept of preemption, which holds that federal law overrides conflicting state or local laws.
What's next? Will he rally his “violence interrupters” and their gang banger homies to battle the National Guard? Already we have had a senior Latin King leader put a $10,000 bounty on a senior government official with impunity from the mayor and CPD. Already we have seen CPD refuse to respond to a "10-1” (officer needs assistance) call from their brother federal law enforcement personnel. Our mayor has forced first responders to commit this ultimate betrayal. Is this his way of acting out his “all cops are bastards” fantasies, watching law enforcement officers die in the streets while he smiles gleefully. Remember, this is the same reprobate who characterized his own CPD, including the 150 police officers who protect his panic-attack stricken self instead of the citizens he purports to represent, as a “disease”, and I quote:
“…law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities…It’s a sickness and we’re gonna eradicate it.”
Let that sink in, as the social media saying goes.
Is letting federal officers die at the hands of the mobs he and Governor JB Pritzker incited to riot what he means by the word “eradicate”? What’s next? Will he incite more riots like the ones after Dr. King was assassinated in 1968 and burn down the South and West sides again? Or maybe this time he’ll go one better and burn down Lincoln Park (burn the rich) as well as Edison Park and Mount Greenwood (eradicate the cops) too. Is this our modern-day Emperor Nero? Should we hand the raggedy man a fiddle, or better yet a bus ticket back to Rockford where he came from!
The Democrats running this city want their own Kent State redux. They want to create martyrs to serve their shameless political ambitions. They’re not preserving democracy, they’re undermining federal law. And they’re doing so under the smug pretense of moral superiority — while people bleed in the streets.
This is what we elected, folks. This is what happens when you put ideologues in charge of public safety.
Dumb and Dumberer: Pritzker and Johnson’s suicide pact
The dystopic duo of Governor Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, when they’re not quibbling over Tier 2 pension reform that threatens to bankrupt the city or trying outdo one another for who most likely to be nominated for president from their Kabuki theater war with Trump, have gotten us in a hopeless war with the most powerful institution on Earth: the federal government. They must be taking strategy seminars from Hamas!
What, exactly, do they think happens next?
This isn’t Abraham Lincoln they’re provoking. This is Donald J. Trump — the most vindictive president since Theodore Roosevelt. A man who hates his enemies with unbridled passion and believes in direct retribution. A man with an unlimited fiscal machine that can redirect funds, flood your city with federal agents, and launch DOJ investigations without blinking. A man who just yesterday said, not without justification, Pritzker and Johnson belong in jail (prayers that they share a cell — two men enter, one man leaves in the cage match for the ages).
Meanwhile, Pritzker and Johnson have to squeeze their funding out of the few remaining taxpaying suckers still willing to underwrite this social experiment masquerading as a city. They can’t even keep gas in the buses, and yet now their CTA is engaging in braggadocio about building the Red Line Extension boondoggle without the billions of dollars Trump has suspended, a line nobody will ride except perhaps gangbangers and black-market cigarette peddlers.
They’ve sown the wind. Now they reap the whirlwind.
This is what they want
And that’s exactly what they wanted all along.
A confrontation. A clash. A viral video. A new Kent State moment. A martyr with a martyr’s mural.
They are doing everything in their power to manufacture a narrative: the National Guard is an occupying force, ICE is a paramilitary Gestapo, and federal law enforcement is somehow illegitimate unless it’s investigating Republicans.
Let’s be real: These aren’t “community organizers.” These are agitators. This is right out of the Rules for Radicals playbook, authored by Barack Obama’s intellectual godfather Saul Alinsky. They want chaos. They want a crackdown. They want to pose as resistance heroes on MSNBC and send out fundraising emails to the DSA list while their hapless constituents dodge stray bullets in Englewood, South Shore, and North Lawndale.
If this is Civil War II, they are not the Union, they are the Confederacy
Let’s get something straight: Nullifying federal law is not progressive. It’s not liberal. It’s not “just.” It’s secessionist.
In 1832, South Carolina tried this with tariffs. In 1861, they did it with slavery. Now, Chicago and Illinois are trying it with immigration. The logic is the same: “We don’t like the law, so we won’t enforce it. And we’ll punish anyone who tries.”
That’s not civil rights. That’s rebellion. Mayor Johnson may think he’s the next MLK. He’s not. He’s the next Jeff Davis. He’s selling out his own people for illegals, and don’t think they don’t know it. They rent going to name a library after him. Maybe the city dump. Or the sewer system, if he’s lucky.
And when it comes to ICE, the stakes are enormous. We are not just talking about crossing guard jobs and visa overstays. We are talking about known criminal aliens, cartel associates, and members of foreign gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13 — violent actors who have already committed crimes and are being sought on lawful detainers.
Yet the city refuses to cooperate. Worse, it actively obstructs. Are they on the take?
What we, the people, actually think
While Pritzker and Johnson try to gaslight the media, the people of Chicago — and the nation — see through it. Just look at the comments from everyday Americans, many of them Hispanic, many of them military veterans, responding to news of the standoff:
“Chicago is the murder capital of America for the 13th year running. Our mayor has a 6.6 percent approval rating, calls cops a disease and lets criminals run wild. We desperately need federal troops and agents.”
“This all could be avoided if the mayor simply signed a 287(g) agreement. But he refuses. This is obstruction.”
“These people aren’t heroes. They’re anarchists in suits. They want to trigger violence so they can blame Trump. It’s disgusting.”
“As someone who lives in South Shore, I’ll tell you—this isn’t about immigration anymore. It’s about who controls the streets: the government or the gangs.”
“Pritzker wants illegals counted in the census so he can get more congressional seats. He’s trading lives for power.”
“It’s sad to see Democratic politicians once again on the wrong side of history—just like (George) Wallace (Alabama Governor), just like (Orville) Faubus (Arkansas Gov.). They’re using state power to resist federal law. And they’ll lose.”
“The Democrats are handing this election to Trump on a silver platter. The American people want law and order. This isn’t complicated.”
“Spike Lee called this city “Chi-Raq,” and you say it’s safe? I’m calling your bluff! Take my no-charge tour of South Shore this Friday starting at midnight. Let’s see how safe this ‘sanctuary’ feels then.”
And then there’s 26th Ward alderman Jesse Fuentes — gender fluid, logic allergic — who says Trump has turned Chicago into a war zone. But it wasn’t Trump who created the war zone, was it? Johnson called police “a disease.” He and Pritzker opened the door wide for cartels and traffickers to pour in. They both repeatedly and very visibly called on Chicagoans to obstruct justice. Trump’s just telling the truth about the mess they made.
There is a legal path — they refuse to take it
If the mayor and governor really wanted to protect citizens, law enforcement, and immigrants alike while respecting the law, they would follow the framework provided by Congress. It’s called a 287(g) agreement. It allows local law enforcement to notify ICE when a criminal alien is being held and gives agents a safe window to make an arrest.
Instead, they do the opposite. They cut ICE out of the loop. They release violent offenders back into neighborhoods. They actively prevent coordination. They abolish the CPD gang database which would make a great “to do” list for ICE. They leave ICE officers who need assistance alone in the streets to be harassed by progressive protesters.
They then clutch their pearls when the National Guard shows up to protect federal agents from being assaulted.
This isn’t compassion. This is chaos. In fact, this is not America. This is the People’s Democratic Socialist Republic, a rogue state in the process of violent secession.
The Supreme Court will have the final say — but the voters will ultimately decide the fate of these 21st century secessionists, and that’s what democracy looks like!
Make no mistake: This will end up in the courts. Legal scholars from Alan Dershowitz to the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Gregory Scalia have long acknowledged the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration law and protect its own agents.
But the people won’t wait for a ruling. The backlash is coming now.
You can already feel the mood shift. In neighborhoods once solidly blue, residents are whispering things they wouldn’t have dared say a year ago. They’re getting Concealed Carry Permits. Buying guns. Installing cameras. Calling for more patrols. Quietly nodding when Trump says ICE agents deserve our respect.
Because deep down, they know who the real enemy is.
It’s not ICE. It’s not the National Guard. It’s not Trump.
It’s the politicians who turned their city into a political playground for radicals and criminals while their neighbors were getting shot and stomped to death, raped and hit in the back of the head with 2x4’s, carjacked, and murdered by gang bangers.
Chicago: We've been ICED
Yes, Chicago, we’ve been iced, like a stiff in the morgue who got mugged by the reality of rampant Chicago crime Democrats deny. Chicago has been mugged by its own hypocritical wokeism: Sanctuary policies, “no-chase” orders, soft-on-crime prosecutors, anti-police invective, and now, open defiance of the United States government.
We are not witnessing a policy debate. We are watching a slow-motion insurrection — one sponsored by tax dollars and enabled by the very people sworn to protect us.
And now comes the reckoning.
The Guard is here. The court battles are coming. And the American people are watching.
This is our Fort Sumter moment.
It’s time for the loyal Americans of our city and state to take a stand and throw these modern-day rebels, these insurrectionists, these Benedict Arnolds, these traitors out of the offices they have so desecrated. It's time to cast them out like the moneychangers from the temple. Share this with every right-thinking Chicagoan you know. Let’s bring our city, our county, and our state back into the Union.
In the immortal words of Charles E. Weller, “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” Indeed, we may never get another chance.
