President Trump’s so-called border czar Tom Homan warned Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will “ramp up” immigration raids in Los Angeles and other sanctuary cities. Homan’s threat came as the White House said it was seeking to use Naval Station Great Lakes, a U.S. military base on the outskirts of Chicago, as a staging ground for the Department of Homeland Security to carry out immigration raids. Meanwhile, the government of Rwanda said Thursday it had accepted seven immigrants from the United States as part of a third-party deportation deal. The Trump administration is also seeking to deport people to South Sudan and Eswatini even though they have no connection to those countries. In Florida, officials are reportedly emptying an immigration detention camp in an Everglades swamp dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by Republicans, after a federal judge ordered much of the facility to be closed over environmental violations.

Land of Lincoln…the prairie state…corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there’s a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.
