No cooperation with ICE.

ICE agents are the REAL terrorists.

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

“President Donald Trump has called for the jailing of Illinois officials, accusing them of not doing enough to ensure the safety of federal immigration officers who are conducting raids in Chicago.”

Personally, I rather they lock up Dirty Donald Dump.

Honestly…. “demonic sexual performances” sound kinda amazing to me. 🤗

Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime.

It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America.

And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows.

Good… lock them out of everything.

Don’t feed them, don’t sell them beverages, or allow them into your businesses to use the restroom or to shelter from the elements… shun them everywhere they go.

team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois. We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year.

This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful.

"If we don’t have to use it, I wouldn’t use it," Trump said before adding, "If you take a look at what’s been going on in Portland, it’s been going on for a long time, and that’s insurrection. I mean, that’s pure insurrection."
