Nobel Hopeful Turns Chicago Into 'War Zone'
Pritzker Says Trump Admin Is Making Chicago A 'War Zone,' As ICE Raids Increase - Huffington PostWith immigration raids increasing in scope and violence against Chicagoans, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker fought back against Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem’s claims that the city is a “war zone” ― saying that it is the Trump administration itself turning Chicago into a war zone by flooding the city with federal agents.
“They’re raiding neighborhoods where, instead of going after the bad guys, they’re just picking up people who are brown and Black and then checking their credentials,” the Democratic governor told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“Are you a U.S. citizen? I don’t know about you, but I don’t carry around papers that say I’m a U.S. citizen. So you can imagine, people are getting detained, they’re getting arrested, U.S. citizens.”
