DHS agents retreat as Chicago cops refuse to shield them from swarming protesters
I liked the side article on how sad it is ice agents are being turned away at restaurants and they are not even allowed to use the restroom.
After a hard days' work they just want to kick back at their local taquiera and enjoy a few frosty cervezas. What's the problem?
Finally cops standing there doing nothing works in our favor. I never thought I'd see the day.
they were pepper sprayed by ICE, im betting if they dint things wouldve been different.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Chicago officers were instructed not to respond to the U.S. Border Patrol's calls for help in another incident where a vehicle was rammed and a person was shot.
"Multiple law enforcement sources confirm to @FoxNews that Chicago police officers were instructed by their Chief of Patrol to NOT respond to Border Patrol agents call for help yesterday after they were reportedly surrounded by a large crowd of protesters following a ramming incident & shooting of an armed woman," Melugin reported on X.
That last paragraph, from a FOX News correspondent, makes it sound like it was some ad hoc decision. It was not. Illinois does not permit any state, county, or local law enforcement to assist federal agents with their federal enforcement objectives.
ICE agents were in the middle of doing federal enforcement work. Crowd control is on them.
Never happened. The source is Fox News, the tentpole of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and they lie 100% of the time. We are under no obligation to believe a single word that comes out of Fox News, in fact, I am inclined to believe the exact opposite.
Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a "war zone" where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.

She’s not wrong. It’s just that her agents are causing the war part.
"Invading paramilitary force not being suitably supported by the the locals of the place being invaded" says leader of paramilitary force in an interview on her Party's Propaganda Channel.
Oh no! Those antifa monsters, disallowing an entire class of people from using the bathroom!
The poor them must feel so opressed!
Luckily, them being sane humans with empathy, they'll realise how trans people've felt for ages!
(unfortunately /s.)
Now THAT'S peaceful protest 😀
I don't know... could get messy.
Noem can dig a pit and use it as a latrine like she did for her goats,horses, and Dog, if you catch my drift.
Do you think these people ever have an occasional moment when they think to themselves "I sound literally insane"?
I dont think they have much calm inside their heads honestly.
She's gonna be shocked when someone reads her the 3rd amendment
Tbh, if there's one thing that CPD won't ever do is help a person in trouble.
Kat Abughazaleh is asking people to attend a protest this Friday 10/10 at 9:30 a.m. at the ICE headquarters at 1930 Beach Street, Broadview, IL
They earned this round of donuts.
Always remember: A cop that's eating, can't give a beating
A cop that's eating has more energy to kill someone brown
Not saying I'm a fan of the police, but I think they made a good call this time.
..... this time.
It's Illinois state law that they're prohibited from assisting federal agents in doing federal agent stuff.
So for once the cops were actually following the law.
"Gee guys, we'd love to help you abuse the rights of citizens, it's kind of our favorite thing, but our hands are tied here. I'm sure you understand."
That's shocking.
They are simply reading the room and making a calculated choice. The public needs to continue putting the pressure on, they are cracking at the local level first.
Need an immediate response lefty team. Show up for these things and record and document everything with the intention that if government ever course corrects, there is now some record that might be able to identify these ICE agents and have justice served. They 100% are covering their face so that there's no way to charge them if courts ever try for any violations
They probably have their personal cell phones broadcasting device ids. Collect that data too.
Huh, I guess cops arnt always shitty.
Almost every time like the one we are currently living in involves police/military people having to decide where their loyalties lie. Sometimes it's with the people, sometimes it's with the regime. Very often it is different between different agencies (with the lowest-level ones tending to side with the people).
The US is such a patchwork (both organizationally and on in individual level for each cop) that I think there will be a big and chaotic variety. It could range from sheriff's departments headed by Trump-loyal sheriffs who are willing to go to war with city agencies who are trying to protect their people, all the way over to city cops who eventually start actively defending their cities against the feds who are trying to do obviously illegal things there. That last one hasn't happened yet but I think it may be right around the corner. Things are changing. Those city workers telling Kristi Noem to get fucked from being allowed to pee in Broadview City Hall, that stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.
The US is such a patchwork ...
In just about every way. During "normal" times, that makes for more bureaucracy and Kafka, but the silver lining is that when fascists take over the entire federal government, it's harder for them to tear everything down all at once than if the country were more monolithic.
ICE pepper sprayed cops and protestors alike
Til cpd are less shitty than LAPD.
Cops don't want anyone above them interfering with their city racket.
Cops are weird, it's a mix of 'this our turf, you wanted to come in here so FAFO', laziness, a vague sense of duty directed at ???, and some eclectic variety of incoherent personal politics that separates the feds into the camp of 'other' at least temporarily.
Or they're doing this intentionally hoping that it sparks some bigger conflict, where they along with ICE 'justify' getting to pull out the real big boy toys to use on the populace. Considering the coordination and organization behind the "thin blue line" and my own personal experiences with police, I'm more inclined to believe this than all them suddenly growing a conscience and doing the right thing as an organization.
Nah, the "not in my city" mindset is a far simpler explanation.
Looking at the difference between LAPD and cpd behavior: It's probably because Chicago is a genuinely hard city, and the cpd know they'll be straight up fuvking hunted if they're seen protecting ice. They're not good–they're confident people will provide them with justice if they get caught up in this–as every cop should be
“If anyone is gonna torment the people here, it’s gonna be us!”
Do not capitulate, make them make you.
Never surrender in advance, never respond to their threats and/or intimidation, force them to go to court, force them to justify their behavior to a judge.
Make them pay dearly for every step they take.
That's the Chicago way.
Chicago cops are pretty corrupt. So this tells you something.
Salmon on the other hand are coho
Those fucking fish really piss me off!
Yeah but they’re still Chicagoans, and probably this was more about not wanting to do any work, lol. They’re more notorious for that than being corrupt these days.
Good job, Chi-town!
Time for the racist thug losers to drag their own portable shitters with them. The Blues Brothers and Chicago. The scene when Joliet Jake and Elwood drive through the fucking Nazis on the bridge. Stay Tough Chicago!
I can't stand Illinois Nazis.
Good. They should not feel welcome ANYWHERE they go; no comfort, no peace, to the enemy.
Noem: It's a war zone out there! It's crazy!
Them: What do you mean? People are shooting at each other? Bodies in the streets?
Noem: They won't let us pee in their restrooms!
Well did the ICE agents submit to gender checks first, to make sure they’re using the correct restroom? A copy of their birth certificate should suffice.
🏳️⚧️: First time?
Something, something - Third Amendment?
I’m not an American - but I’m pretty sure the 3rd basically means that they can (and should) be refused service freely by anyone and everyone who wants to?
No, the 3rd amendment means your house/apt can't be turned into a barracks.
Refusing service is just how things are, no specific amendment
I'd add that they should be identified and not welcome anywhere ever.
Which is why the cops aren't cooperating. The ICE Jackals will leave town when they are done fucking things up, but these cops will still be here, living among their neighbors, going to church, the grocery store, etc. Imagine what's going to happen to your kids at school, whose Dad helped break up and deport families who had friends and relatives at school?
No, if I'm a Chicago cop, I'm staying as far away from this mess as possible. Might even be a good time to take a couple of weeks of that PTO I've been saving up.
No piss for the enemy.
Soon, they'll be hauling around their own Poop Truck.
Why are you so pro war crimes? ICE having to pee in bottles while trapped in a U-Haul is worse than Gaza. This hate for our troops has no business here!
If you're cold they're cold!
Had me in the first.
