If/when this administration loses power, retaliation will get us nowhere with some exceptions. Stephen Miller has to go to prison. Non-negotiable at this point. He is a cancer on society. Even Trump jokes about the need to restrain him.

The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. constitution does give the federal government precedence over conflicting state laws and federal immigration law for you rookies out there. Calling yourself a sanctuary place from some immigration laws and obstructing enforcement of immigration laws might make you a subject of a criminal investigation.
Comment by Steve Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 9:49 am
Documenting abuse of power is the furthest thing from impeding agents. The fact that the AG and others in this administration see it this way is beyond scary.

Comment by Perrid Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 10:05 am
Classic for this administration. Lightfoot and Pritzker both explicitly say they are not going to reveal identities and Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller respond by attacking them for revealing identities. Sadly, they are completely untethered to any sense of truth, justice or reality.

== Pritzker absolutely wants to get indicted at this point. ==
Initially did not think this was the case, but when he held his hands up during a TV interview and said “come and get me”, it became apparent there is more going on here than concern for rule of law in Illinois. He does want to and will use whatever is coming for futher political aspirations (my opinion only, and as a fan of him at that)

That’s just insane. He’s using techniques to illustrate the absurdity of Trump’s conduct. Nobody other than Trump wants to get indicted.
Comment by New Day Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 10:52 am
I get the idea of wanting to prioritize deportation of the “worst of the worst” and “criminals” - but that means that we need to wait until an individual commits a serious crime? That just doesn’t make much sense.
In the not so distant past, we were all largely on the same page about all of this - “The American people are a welcoming and generous people. But those who enter our country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws.” Barack Obama
Comment by WeMostlyAgree (enter - politics) Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 10:58 am
= Calling yourself a sanctuary place from some immigration laws and obstructing enforcement of immigration laws might make you a subject of a criminal investigation. =
The key wording is “might make you a subject”
Yes, Illinois and Chicago are Sanctuary State/City
places. That alone is not necessarily illegal, but it has the potential to be depending on a variety of actions that might be taken by these ‘Sanctuaries.’
JB may be treading a thin line but I do not see how he has specifically violated federal law- at least for an indictment.
So, I have no problem with your comment but it needs more information, with specifics, if you believe federal law has been violated.
Comment by Mason County Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 11:01 am
===Yes, Illinois and Chicago are Sanctuary State/City===
No, they are not. The statutes/ordinances don’t shield anyone from laws or offer protection.
Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 11:09 am
It is absolutely unhinged that some people in this comment thread think that Pritzker is only opposing Trump in order to run in 2028. I can only assume the people who think that everything which JB is opposing (illegal troop deployment, illegal theft of funds, illegal prosecutions, etc.) should just be fine.
Trump supporters are a cult, there is no other way to describe this behavior.

A little explanation on why a lack of state enforcement of immigration law is not obstruction. States cannot be compelled to aid or partake in this sort of thing.
Comment by localgovhero Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 11:13 am
===In the not so distant past, we were all largely on the same page about all of this===
The word “this” is carrying a whole lot of weight in that sentence.
I don’t think we’ve seen sustained, daily, multiple aggressive and even violent immigrant street sweeps in numerous cities and suburbs by masked, unmarked federal agents driving cars with phony license plates and lobbying tear gas containers at people in neighborhoods (near schools) without a single warning to back off.
Also, since when has the POTUS federalized national guards from other states to help carry out these deportation roundups?

Attorney General Bondi cites federal laws against unmasking federal agents and disclosing where they live etc as well as laws against impeding, conspiring or assaulting federal officers carrying out their lawful duties enforcing federal immigration laws.
How is she wrong?
What statues allow Governor Pritzker to take these actions?

Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 11:35 am
To me Pritzker and the Chicago Dems are puffing their chests and showing the world “the Chicago way” like Al Capone’s Outfit and the Daley machine. Pritzker seriously thinks he can get away with anything he wants in Illinois with a Dem majority in the legislature. An out of touch Boomer mentality, although he is a GenXer.

If you have to ask how the Attorney General is wrong to threaten the sitting Governor of a state with arrest then I really have lost faith in some of the people in this country.
Comment by Demoralized Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 11:57 am
The ire of the administration is a badge of honor for decent people. Like the cartoon character says:”your boos mean nothing:I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”
It’s also telling that the administration feels it has to crank their rhetoric up to eleven so early in a debate; that’s definitely a Trump move, meant to intimidate and discourage an opponent, but JB knows his cards and isn’t going to flinch with this guy, who is flailing away with empty threats.

This whole thing, all of it, is about a draft dodger with 34 felony convictions sending military into large cities that didn’t vote for him. All of “this” is only about punishment. He doesn’t care about immigration. All of his wives are/were immigrants. All of his kids, anchor babies. He only cares about punishing those who didn’t vote for him. Tyranny doesn’t even begin to describe “this”.
Comment by Southern_Dawg Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:15 pm
I can’t shake the feeling of doom that how our state is reacting to this bizarre attack by the federal government is exactly what the administration wants. That would make our current approach the wrong approach.
I try not to offer a criticism without a solution, in this case I can’t. I doubt any of us can say with a straight face we know the way forward. This isn’t it I fear.

And, yet. When Miller and Bondi and Trump do the exact same thing, you justify it.
Think deeply. America’s future is not a win-lose proposition, and Americans do not need to choose sides. Greater minds will prevail, either after or preferably before great harm happens.
Choosing which puffed chest to is correct only guarantees that chests will be puffed and harm will occur. It is past time for us to start finding a better path forward.

This is a furthering of the Trump two-step before the 2026 midterms. He moves aggressively with the use (or abuse) of Executive authority. Blue states react, and it creates a “narrative” that the Administration is in favor of “law and order” and the Dems are standing up for non-citizens. I’m not saying any of this is right or wrong - just looking at it from the POV of the national politics of it.

Comment by Excitable Boy Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:30 pm
The best thing Bondi can do to “protect” these Federal agents is to hold them accountable for both illegal acts and unnecessary abuse of the public by some of them. If Bondi and her underlings would hold their own troops accountable, to their own Federal standards for law enforcement, that would be a start.
But holding themselves accountable seems to far a bridge for senior Trumpers.
Comment by Walker Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:32 pm
“I doubt any of us can say with a straight face we know the way forward.”
I can. Historically, it’s fairly obvious.
I would wager you can too. What’s likely stopping you is what it means to you, to acknowledge what’s actually happening.
This time, not talking about the bad stuff and hoping it just goes away in a performative desire to avoid being negative, isn’t going to work.
That’s how we got here.
“I can’t shake the feeling of doom that how our state is reacting to this”
No offense, but this is a mindset which allows abuse. And again this is not meant to be an insult, but please think very hard about why your main concern is the reaction to the horrible actions - and not the actions themselves.
It’s a learned response. You’ll have to unlearn it. Please.

Am I the only one a bit nostalgic for the days when CapFax stories were mostly about Illinois goings on and national stories were more peripheral. Now, unfortunately with the actions of the Felon in Chief and his insane clown posse, the coverage has to keep up with what comes out of Washington and how it affects Illinois and the entire nation.
Comment by West Side the Best Side Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:34 pm
Sigh. Everyone should take a close look at Stephen Miller’s paper trail and past record of public statements. It’s pretty damning.
He really does feel that America as a nation, goes under, if there are too many nonwhite people here. At least too many nonwhite people from Africa and Latin America and other undesirable nations. He thinks America has to stay at a certain percentage lily-whiteness, or as he’s said many times, “Import the Third World, you become the Third World.”
You don’t have to play his game and frame all of this as a discussion about violent illegal gang members. It’s a question of whether America as a nation is going to increasingly turn into an old white retirement home, or whether it’s going to reinvent itself (as it has so many times before) with new immigrants from countries previously deemed undesirable or “unassimilable” (think in the past Ireland, China, large stretches of Southern and Eastern Europe; the list goes on and on).
Comment by ZC Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:36 pm
The trump admin is simply looking for a level of agitation that will spark an actual riot or violent reaction. To most everyone’s credit this we are not seeing this, at least on scale, and it seems like in many places the reaction has been more of a mocking party or ironic party atmosphere. Which is absolutely perfect. It is driving maga nuts (or more nuts) and, of course, the admin and their propaganda outlets simply lie (obvious lies to boot) about it.
My prediction, based on history, is that the admin will crack down harder and harder. They will work to prevent mid-term and presidential elections or alter them due to a “national emergency”. They will ultimately end up where all authoritarian regimes end up. How much time it will take is tougher to predict and how much damage and potentially how many loves will be lost is unknown. That is the “preparing for the worst” view. The hoping for the best part is that the economic damage is enough to force a political change during the mid terms. I am not betting on one or the other.

=What statues allow Governor Pritzker to take these actions?=
Question, are you purposefully dishonest with your comments or is it that you just don’t understand the words?
There is literally nothing illegal with identifying these “agents”. It is antithetical to US law enforcement for officers to be masked. Maybe you come from an authoritarian country where it is the norm but it is not in the US. Never has been. The rest of what Frau Bondi und Herr Miller (no relation) stated is false, proven by the plain reading of the governors words. I really don’t care what Lightfoot says, she isn’t an elected.
As for the statements about sanctuary state/city, these are also factually incorrect. I know Frau Bondi and Herr Miller (no relation) are going to lie about it. But people should read the law. IIRC Chicago is a welcoming city. None of the legislation shields people from prosecution for crimes or even immigration enforcement. I mean you may not like that, especially if you don’t support the Bill of Rights and the 4th and 5th Amendments.
Some southern Illinois counties declared themselves as gun sanctuaries, unenforceable though. I am guessing you have no issue there.
Comment by JS Mill Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:53 pm
It is truly disheartening that, by whatever definition of the word, some foundational pieces of the federal government are intentionally positioning themselves as an “enemy” of citizens and state governments. Not an opponent politically, not one with whom there are policy or political differences. An enemy, which is what the Attorney General and the White House have become to so many in this country. No one can rationally argue that the actions of the Justice Department are anything other than an extension of the insecurity, bullying, and egotism that makes up the White House. As someone else noted, nine months in. Breathtaking.
Comment by Foreright Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:53 pm
==By your logic we should lock up parking violators before they become murderers.==
That’s silly. Statutes/ordinances govern penalties for certain violations. Parking violations result in fines. Immigration laws govern penalties for being in the country without lawful status - Those penalties include deportation.
Comment by cmonman Friday, Oct 24, 25 @ 12:54 pm
I long for the days when Republicans were in favor of “small government.”
Truth be told, I never understood the Right’s unconditional love for law enforcement when law enforcement is the armed hand of the State. Now with federal law enforcement roaming the streets grabbing people without permissible probable cause, I wish I had a time machine to offer this as a hypothetical to the pre tea party Republicans.
Would love to hear someone’s take on this matter though. The DHS press releases keep talking about people “ramming” their cars into federal agents. It is almost daily they make this claim. What are the odds that is actually true?

That is not 100% accurate
From the ACLU…
Entering the United States without being inspected and admitted, i.e., illegal entry, is a misdemeanor or can be a felony, depending on the circumstances. 8 U.S.C. § 1325. But many undocumented immigrants do not enter the United States illegally. They enter legally but overstay, work without authorization, drop out of school or violate the conditions of their visas in some other way. Current estimates are that approximately 45% of undocumented immigrants did not enter illegally. See Pew Hispanic Center, Modes of Entry for the Unauthorized Migrant Population [May 22, 2006].

Bondi’s comments sound like saber-rattling to me. There are plenty of lawyers in the world who would love to humiliate her and Trump if they tried something so stupid. Bovino is on the path to criminal contempt. SCOTUS has not granted the USA’s emergency stay. JS Mill is right that they want some agitation to justify their actions. Do not give them it by doing something equally dumb like having CPD or ISP arrest an ICE agent.

I realize this is not a forum friendly to such awkward questions, but why is it that so many Democrats are obsessed with helping foreign nationals here in violation of federal immigration law? Is it just knee-jerk hate of all things Orange Man? Desperate need to keep foreign nationals here to pad census numbers for district gerrymandering purposes? Both?

==No, they are not. The statutes/ordinances don’t shield anyone from laws or offer protection.==
This is a very good reminder, Rich. MAGA has chosen the term “sanctuary” and all it implies, but what is true on the ground is that Chicago/Illinois and others simply aren’t engaging in civil immigration enforcement. “Sanctuary” suggests, to many people, that people can just commit crimes and not be held accountable. Not the case.

Like much of the Right’s noise, it’s mostly hypocrisy, such as the pardons of the Jan. 6 rioters who “supported” 140 police officers right into the Emergency Room the day of the Insurrection.
It’s the same with their bloviating about Freedom of Speech, as long as it’s their freedom and their speech. Any speech that disagrees with them is treason, as they characterized the Oct. 25 No Kings demonstrations.
