On June 4th, ICE thugs brutally kidnapped 10 people who had shown up to a supposed routine “check-in” at the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP, a subcontractor of ICE).

This fascist gestapo was able to get away with snatching these people because of assistance from the Chicago Police Department.

When people showed up to rightfully attempt to prevent these kidnappings by blocking the facility’s exits, CPD responded to a request for help from ISAP and showed up to repress the crowd so that the kidnappings could continue uninterrupted.

The fact that CPD assisted their fellow pigs isn’t surprising. Nor is it surprising that CPD is blatantly violating Chicago’s Sanctuary City ordinances, or Mayor Brandon Johnson’s promises that the city wouldn’t assist in ICE kidnappings.

What is surprising is the utter lack of accountability for Brandon Johnson’s lies. Johnson and his supporters talk big about standing up to Trump, but when the time comes to put their money where their mouth is, they fall in line.

Their dishonest nature is best demonstrated in a newly unveiled audio recording of CPD Captain Patrick Quinn requesting backup for the kidnappers, where he states, “we don’t wanna make this a media thing” and asks the operator to not broadcast the request over the radio, only further revealing their guilt.

Chicago’s progressive mayor and his handpicked CPD superintendent are openly allowing the Chicago Police to collaborate with ICE. What is the point of sanctuary cities if their cops are defending ICE thugs? What is the point of progressive mayors if they allow ICE to freely roam the streets? What is the point of Leftist organizations, if all they do is run cover for those sellout politicians?

In the last year, Brandon Johnson has overseen the brutal crackdown on protests at the DNC, prosecuted dozens of people for those protests, overseen the CPD killings of Timothy Glaze and Nathaniel Fejerang, and now has demonstrated that he is personally fine with deploying the CPD to protect ICE. If you want to go along with those politics as usual, you can live with the consequences.
