The Illinois governor is putting felon illegal aliens in communities to protect them from ICE and deportation. It’s his “firewall” against Trump’s fake attacks on immigrants.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has backed out of an agreement to turn illegal immigrants over to immigration officials.
As a result, some violent felons facing deportation are now being released into local communities, the Associated Press reported.
The Illinois Department of Corrections has stopped cooperating in efforts to transfer custody of inmates who have completed their sentences over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey and Livingston County Sheriff Tony Childress said during a press conference on Tuesday.
“This is just plain wrong,” Sheriff Downey said, according to The Southern Illinoisan. “These convicted felons do not deserve to be given a head start or assistance from the state of Illinois in evading our federal law enforcement partners.”
He noted that releasing convicted felons facing deportation will make communities less safe, WGN reported.
Stating the obvious!!!
“This is unconscionable. Dangerous. And puts our most vulnerable citizens, our children, at risk,” said Sheriff Childress, who also heads the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association (ISA).
He said he is particularly concerned about convicted sex offenders.
“Individuals with no legal status in this country do not register on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry. And if they flee Illinois, they don’t register themselves anywhere else, either,” Sheriff Childress declared. “We urge Governor Pritzker to reverse this policy.”
The sheriffs said no one even bothered to notify them of Pritzker’s policy change.
“I am dumbfounded that we had to learn that dangerous felons were simply being released into our county and into our community without notice, coordination or even a courtesy call to local law enforcement,” Sheriff Childress railed.
WE DON’T KNOW WHO, WHAT, WHERE OR WHEN
We don’t even know who they are or how many there are.
“Nobody knows where they are,” State Senator Chapin Rose told the paper. “That’s the problem.”
State Senator Jason Barickman said that the governor’s policy change is “radical,” WGN reported.
“It’s alarming to think that because of a change in policy that suddenly these types of individuals might be walking the streets and we might not even be aware of it,” Barickman told the Associated Press.
The senator called on Pritzker to “reverse this reckless policy” in order to ensure the public’s safety.
Pritzker is releasing a lot of sex offenders, predators who have even attacked children.
IT’S A LOT MORE THAN WHAT IS REPORTED
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Chicago Director Robert Guadian said that the actual number of illegal aliens poised to benefit from Pritzker’s policy change is much higher than what is being reported.
“Now, about 400 convicted criminals per year — including felons who served time for crimes such as sexually abusing children and homicide – will be released into your community and into mine,” Guadian told the Associated Press. “I can think of no other state that protects convicted felons.”
The director said that the move “put politics ahead of public safety.”
“ICE will now have to make these arrests in the community when they should have been made in the secure confines of a jail,” he added.
Pritzker won’t change the policy. He’s like Governor Newsom of California and his merry band of far-left Democrats ruling Cali. He’s another Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio of New York.
Soon, the USA will be a land — not of the free — but of the felons. Twenty-four caravans are on their way up to the USA and they include dangerous criminals according to an El Universal report.

So why isn’t the DOJ arresting these people as this is a clear violation of US Federal Law
U.S. Code › Title 8 › Chapter 12 › Subchapter II › Part VIII › § 1324 Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
Harboring — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation.
Encouraging/Inducing — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) makes it an offense for any person who — encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.
Conspiracy/Aiding or Abetting — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(v) expressly makes it an offense to engage in a conspiracy to commit or aid or abet the commission of the foregoing offenses.
Rich, I will write you as I did Alberticus on this issue. Great post by you also, and I’d suggest that you(as Alberticus) GET YOUR POST AS WRITTEN TO A.G. BARR, @THE DOJ, AND PERHAPS HE WILL START TO DO THE JOB HE WAS HIRED TO DO….PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS AND OUR VERY OWN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT ARE GUARANTEED US-AND STOP THIS INSANITY OF AMERICAN CITIZENS BEING PUT AT RISK BY ‘THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT LOONS LIKE THIS ILL. GOV. WHO IS SIMPLY DOING WHAT “HE WANTS-TURNING THESE CRIMINALS BACK INTO THE COMMUNITIES, PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK.” THIS IS TOTAL INSANITY, AS WE IN CA. HAVE THE SAME THINGS GOING ON, BY CORRUPT POLITICOS WHO TURNED CA. INTO A SANCTUARY CRAP HOLE……LIKE “San FranFeces and Los Angeles”
Again, excellent post by you, so hope you WILL send it to A.G. Barr-who appears to worry More about PR for his DOJ-which IS corrupt, just as the FBI, under Dir. Wray. Thanks for being someone who stands up for all of us(I do each day, in moving around the INSANE things going on in America, so hope you can also!
Why are WE paying incompetent losers in the DOJ? Any first year law student should be able to shut down this GARBAGE . The “DOJ” should have ended the sanctuary crap on day one. File the first criminal AND civil lawsuits, freeze the assets of of the “sanctuarians” and the rest would change their tune. Forfeit ALL of Gov. Newsom’s assets to pay damages to the family of that murdered woman ….and jail him as an ACCESSORY and an ACCOMPLICE. Federal Code 8, section 1324. “It is unlawful to transport, hire or house an illegal alien…under penalty of $2,000 fine for each illegal and/or 5 years in prison.
Yes, “sanctuary implementors” DO OWE DAMAGES for any harm their law breaking leads to. By the way, why is a clerk jailed for refusing to do her duty and register homosexual marriages,but these politicians and police are not jailed for allowing sanctuary cities and refusing to do THEIR duty? TAKE all their possessions.
Under Federal Law called the Harboring statute,those who Harbor and or conceal an illegal alien that murders an American,that person is eligible for the death penalty at Terre Haute!
Cannot say it often enough, these politicians took an oath to uphold the CONSTITUTION of the United States and therefore cannot whine that they do not have to enforce Federal Law. Every judge or politician blocking that wall is providing material aid and support to Narco Terrorists. Anyone who provides “sanctuary” to an illegal is harboring criminals, PERIOD. And if that illegal commits a crime the sanctuary providers is a ACTIVE ACCOMPLICE to the crime and is PERSONALLY Financially Liable for FULL restitution and gets to serve time for the crime…….. Make them pay a price for their evil ……. If the “Appointed Defenders” of Our HOUSE refuse to do their duty, they are accomplices and personally responsible for the results. “Public Officials” That refuse to enforce the immigration laws and provide “sanctuary” to ILLEGALS automatically assume personal financial responsibility for ANY crimes and any damages created by said ILLEGALS. They also are accessories to any crimes committed by their ILLEGALS and should be JAILED as Accomplices. Same applies to any priest/church that provides “sanctuary” Take all their assets for reparations and jail them as accomplices to the crimes .
Alberticus, what an Excellent and True Post. I wish You would send it to A.G. Barr, who appears to be NOT doing HIS DUTIES, but perhaps he will see that ‘We the People/American Citizens ARE BEING HARMED by our Criminal Politicos, who as you state-“SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO US, BY OUR VERY OWN CONSTITUTION. I THINK BARR NEEDS A WAKE UP CALL, AND YOUR POST WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO START WITH…HOPE YOU WILL GET IT TO HIM, SO HE CAN DO “SOMETHING FOR THE AMERICAN CITIZENS, LIKE WE ‘SENIORS IN CA. WHO ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT NUTS WHO HAVE TAKEN DOWN OUR ONCE GREAT STATE.
AGAIN, GREAT POST BY YOU…
First thank God I am not living in Illinois.
These same people are the ones wanting to take your second amendment away from you so you can not protect yourself from the violent criminals that they are releasing into the communities. They are not concerned with the public’s safety and should be removed from office.
Any public servant that does not have the public’s safety and wellbeing in mind should be removed either through the election process or by impeachment.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and any other elected official who aids and abets foreign felons from being deported, should be arrested and locked up like any other criminal.
On the Road to the Western Lands it is best to gas up before Illinois. So throat cutting criminals are on the loose in a state where it is hard to get a firearm, this should end well.
Maybe these comrades could be the administrators of the legal cannabis dispensaries.
A family member with stage 3 cancer makes Phoenix Tears or Rick Simpson Oil from cannabis and is doing well in Commierado.
