A Three Hour Tour🎶

On a more serious note, this is an incredible waste of money. They are essentially taking a tour on the River.

It's also a pretty stupid show of force for anyone familiar with the Chicago River.

"The broader goal is the militarization of major cities before 2026 elections... Next year, I fear that what they're gonna do is deploy these folks to polling places & say they're protecting the vote. Trump knows without these breaches of the Constitution, he's gonna lose Congress." - Gov. Pritzker

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Ellis says that, if she could issue opinions anonymously, she would.

"I don't want to get threatening emails … I don't want the marshals sitting outside of my house."

But, she adds, "under the rule of law, it's important to be transparent."

US District Judge Sara Ellis in a hearing over ICE protests in Chicago:

"I can't tell you how many judges have been doxxed. I can't tell you how many judges have received death threats. … It's unfortunately part of the cost of doing business as a public servant in government."
