As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal officers from CBP and ICE were recently ambushed by a convoy of roughly ten vehicles in what officials described as a “coordinated assault” by domestic extremists against law enforcement.
Chicago police, however, were explicitly ordered to stand down and ignore the distress calls from federal agents.
“The governor knew about it, the mayor knew about it,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday, while suggesting criminality.
Trump called for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker to be jailed on Truth Social this morning, stating, “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!“
When questioned on whether he has asked the Justice Department to look into charging the disgraced mayor and governor, Trump did not say, but he did describe the move to have police stand down as “illegal.”
Trump passed the question to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the elected officials in Illinois “should absolutely be prosecuted.”
Noem further revealed that police in Portland were witnessed by ICE officers “cheering” with “fists in the air” for Antifa terrorists that were calling for the murder of ICE officers. “Those kind of individuals who are perpetuating murder should absolutely be prosecuted, in my opinion,” she said.
