New in PJ Media:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have reportedly come under fire in Broadview, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, from a woman identified only as a “U.S. citizen.” This comes after Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have spent weeks ratcheting up the hysteria and purveying incendiary rhetoric about how President Donald Trump is a fascist and ICE agents are his storm troopers. Once again, the left’s rhetoric spills over into violence.
Fox News reported early Saturday afternoon that according to Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), “federal agents were rammed and boxed in by 10 cars in Broadview, Ill., where anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crowds have been gathering for days.”
They haven’t been just gathering, and this was no peaceful protest: “One of the drivers was armed with a semi-automatic weapon, according to McLaughlin, who said officers ‘were forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen.’” According once again to McLaughlin, “the armed woman, who was a U.S. citizen, was named in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin.” She “allegedly doxxed agents and posted online, ‘Hey to all my gang let’s f— those motherf—— up, don’t let them take anyone.'”
The firefight took place as “agents were reportedly performing a routine patrol in Broadview, a suburb of Chicago.” Reportedly, no agents were injured. Oddly, McLaughlin added that “the woman involved drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.” That’s swell, but was she arrested? The question shouldn’t even need to be asked, but in America these days, one never knows.
It should be remembered in connection with this incident that back in April, Pritzker said: “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption — but I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.” It looks as if in Broadview, he has been heeded.
Also, on Saturday morning, Pritzker raised the temperature even more, saying: “This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.” Once again, this is the kind of language that stirs up the left’s most violent cadres.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Funny how the people who loathe the Confederates as being “traitors” now regard their own states as sovereign entities in their own right, who can confer foreign citizens w/ legal status. Despite immigration being under federal, not state jurisdiction
WPM says
Blocking highways, assaulting law enforcement ,the governor of the state calling for violent resistance against ICE agents doing what they are paid to do. Maybe federal agents should pay a visit to the Mayor of Chicago and the governor to do a little Q and A on what federal charges that could face if they refuse to follow federal law on illegal immigrates and incitement to violently riot. Obstruction of federal law enforcement .Do the red states declare themselves free from following federal laws are they the New woke Confederal states?

The mayor of Chicago and the Illinois governor have ALREADY broken federal law.
They need to be arrested – and charged.
OLD GUY says
It seems like if you are far enough up the political food chain, you are exempt from being arrested for breaking the law. No One should be exempt from breaking the law or interfering with law enforcement carrying out criminal investigations or arrests of criminals. And that includes illegal migrants/aliens who broke Federal law entering the United States of America illegally.
