Chicago is well known as a safe haven for domestic communist activity. Radical political groups, the Weather Underground, Revolutionary Communists, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and their Chicago Alinsky disciples all have called Chicago home for their base of operations.

As a result, it does not come as a surprise that all these hard-core leftist elements have converged in commonality to physically fight against any effort to bring peace and stability to the Chicago metropolitan area. However, the scale and scope of their activity is still alarming to hear when explained by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

In this interview Secretary Noem notes that bounties of $10,000 per kill have been placed on the heads of the ICE/CBP officials currently operating to arrest criminal cartel members and illegal aliens.  While she is careful to avoid giving details of ongoing investigations and interdiction efforts, Secretary Noem notes the scale of the threat presented by the alignment of these radical groups and their support for the criminal cartels who operate in the area.  WATCH:

A disturbing set of text messages from Virginia Democrat nominee Jay Jones has recently surfaced.  The text message exchange shows Mr. Jay Jones openly advocating for shooting then Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Todd Gilbert.

The text messages show a rare glimpse into the psyche of a Democrat politician running for higher office. Even if you take the politics of the issue out of the equation, these are the text messages from a severely disturbed mind.

“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” the text reads in part, referring to Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert and the two dictators.

Factually, well beyond politics, this is not an emotionally or cognitively stable person.

The disturbing messages come amid a larger conversation about Democrats and Leftists promoting violence in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the politically motivated execution of Democratic Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman in their home earlier this year.

Democrats have been defending their promotion of violence for several weeks, and now the documentary evidence, provided by Virginia Democrat candidate Jay Jones, is staring them directly in the face.  Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Virginia Democrat Party is now defending Jay Jones and supporting his violent messaging.

This is very unsettling.

Early voting for Virginia’s statewide races in November is already underway.

Dept of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, states that armed protesters confronted Customs and Border Patrol officials near the Broadview ICE facility today.

CHICAGO – This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.

Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.

The armed woman was named in a CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’

Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.

Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.

This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available. (link)

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was at the facility yesterday coordinating plans for a large-scale operation that will now likely include the national guard.   Secretary Noem has requested national guard support as the local police are refusing to enforce civil order.

The Midway Blitz Operation has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests, the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release Friday.

“Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote on Facebook on Friday. (more)
