As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers make their presence felt in major urban centers, a wave of protests from the political left has arisen, particularly in cities often labeled as “blue.” These protests, however, are not entirely reflective of the sentiments of all residents. Many individuals living in these communities are, in fact, expressing relief and support for ICE’s efforts to apprehend criminal illegal immigrants. Cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois, have recently become hotbeds for some of the most fervent anti-ICE demonstrations. Despite the vocal opposition, local leaders continue to assure their constituents that crime rates are under control. Yet, the narrative they promote is not without its challenges, especially in the digital age where information spreads rapidly and narratives are often scrutinized.

One notable instance of this involved former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who recently appeared on “The Will Cain Show.” During the interview, McCarthy took aim at Illinois Governor JB Pritzker over a recent public appearance. Governor Pritzker had visited the Little Village neighborhood, sharing an Instagram video where he confidently stated how safe he felt while interacting with local business owners and patrons. He made a pointed remark aimed at President Donald Trump, insisting there was “no emergency” necessitating federal intervention. This comment, intended to downplay concerns about public safety, opened up further debate about the real situation on the ground.

Can you believe this guy?@GovPritzker threatening to prosecute law enforcement for enforcing the law and arresting murderers, pedophiles, rapists, drug traffickers, and gang members is DISGUSTING.

It’s no wonder Chicago’s murder rate is 330% higher than the national average under JB Pritzker. His conduct is directly contributing to domestic terrorists attacking our brave law enforcement. He is going to get someone killed with this trash.

Recently, former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy appeared on “The Will Cain Show.” McCarthy promptly made fun of one of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s latest shenanigans. Pritzker went to the neighborhood of Little Village. In an Instagram video, he rambled on about how safe he felt walking around the neighborhood, “talking to small business owners, and patrons of those small businesses.” Pritzker then dropped a snarky comment about how there was “no emergency, so Donald Trump understands, [there’s] no emergency to send troops in.”
