And the ICE guy on the roof in Broadview, Illinois that took a head shot at a priest? Will "Pam" be looking into that? Or does PAM/DOJ now just protect non-living pieces of cloth?

Not even FoxNews side by side coverage supports the nonsense being spewed. Looks like lots of people angry that active military have invaded their cities. No shots fired by protesters, no raging infernos, no scenes of car flipping nor smashing of windows, no bombed out buildings, no looting...

Or people that actually live and work in the cities the Trump Administration calls war zones are telling the truth, and Trump and his hand picked loyalists, selected due to their willingness to never contradict Trump, are lying?

And, of course, there are always live stream cameras.

While real MAGA supporting criminals run free. How convenient.

I hear that 99% of Trump appointees are un(der)qualified spineless sychophant Trump loyalists. Specifically nominated and confirmed because of their loyalty to Trump, willingness to lie and defy the U.S. Constitution, and innate ineptitude.

Insanity. If he wants to sue anyone, it should be the U.S. Postal Service because they didn't deliver the mail in a timely fashion, and even then the case would have been thrown out.

Looks to me like this is an "Operation PhotoOps" editing exercise. Kind of sloppily done as same images are used multiple times, but perhaps they spent all their money on cosplay, makeup, travel expenses and companion fares, for Noem?

$1? So not even gold plated, tho I assume it will be required to have a white metal core.

Chicago is not a Hell hole, nor war zone. Trump Tower Chicago, up until a few days ago (hypocrisy noted), touted Chicago as a wonderful world class tourist city. No doubt they still employ concierges to plan amazing world class sightseeing/shopping activities and dining/cultural experiences.

Then abolish the other two branches of government because they can be overridden and are essentially useless. I would add, deny them any future benefits they accrued, and perhaps claw back quite a few US taxpayers paid for throughout their employment, as their jobs as described never really existed

Shit really began with the patriot act.
DOJ did not blanketly tap phones and record conversations. They did access call records between parties to know who was calling who. There was coordination with foreign governments, and I am sorry IF this guy, and others, innocently got caught up in that.

So sorry for your losses.

I live a few miles from the immigration office in Brookfield. I too am angry and frustrated, but for now will direct that elsewhere than Pritzker and Johnson.

Did any official say they have looked into this and decided not to do anything?

There is lots of shit going on in Chicago right now. ICE killed a woman and lied about it, a priest got shot in the head as a deterent, a gas canister was thrown at a pedestrian because of a traffic backup...

What exactly do you propose they do?

Nothing. Nothing is remaining.
