This past week, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers found themselves ambushed, rammed, and fired upon. Thirty Chicagoans were shot this weekend. But according to Illinois’s Democrat governor, the only problem in his state is… law enforcement.
Democrats have, since the beginning of their founding as a party, flipped every reality on its head. Thus, rigging elections is protecting democracy, fighting for slavery is fighting for freedom, supporting terrorists is promoting peace, killing babies is healthcare, thwarting law enforcement is upholding law and order, violent riots are peaceful protests, shielding foreign lawbreakers is advocating for constituents, etc.
We see this rewriting of history in real time on display in Illinois and particularly in Chicago. Gov. JB Pritzker actually made the dangerous and false accusation that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is arresting U.S. citizens. He absolutely denied any crime crisis and framed Donald Trump’s desire for National Guard troops amid an increase in Chicago’s leftist domestic terrorism as a tyrannical oppression. “We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion,” he gibbered Sunday, even though he is actually the one arguably breaking federal law by interfering with immigration enforcement.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's solution to Chicago's violent crime? Just deal with it. Trump is the problem!

Meanwhile, last year, Chicago earned the unenviable title of America’s homicide capital for the 13th year in a row. Five people were killed and 25 injured in shootings this past weekend, DHS had to call in special operations backup because of repeated near-deadly attacks on its officers, and ICE has arrested over 1,000 foreign lawbreakers in Chicago in recent weeks.
Illinois and Chicago politicians drove themselves into gargantuan deficits, spending billions — Illinois taxpayers each owe an estimated $38,800 for the blue state’s unpaid bills — on illegal aliens. Now the Democrats continue to prioritize illegal aliens and whip up leftist activists into violent, bloodthirsty rages. Gangs, cartels, and terrorist organizations have literally placed bounties on the heads of law-enforcement officers, and all Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson care about is if pedophiles and murderers escape arrest.
SAME DAY — ANOTHER VEHICULAR ASSAULT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The violence is so rampant in @JBPritzker’s Illinois that law enforcement faced two back-to-back vehicular assaults on the very same day.
The Trump administration is rapidly ramping up law enforcement and will put an end… https://t.co/KJXJLoTCt2

The crisis is quite literally ringing in the ears of Illinois and Chicago politicians — the gunshots, the car crashes, the appeals for help from citizens. But the Democrats plug their ears and double down.
The chaos in Chicago, from the interference of local law enforcement and authorities to the rioting and ambushes, is an insurrection. ICE is not the problem. The Democrat Party is.
