I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Reminder: there are no trade deals. Nothing binding was actually signed. 90% of news coverage you saw about “trade deals” was wildly misleading. It’s pretty weird. And it will get weirder as “deals” turn out to be not deals, actually.

...And that was followed by Eileen O'Neil Burke winning the State's Attorney's race (& more importantly Kim "let 'em out of jail no matter what" Foxx stepping down). And, finally, we now have Timothy Evans being replaced atop the courts. All of these have far more to do with the drop in crime here.✌️
The Unconstitutional ICE operations had NOTHING to do with the drop in crime in Chicago. Trust me, neighbors, I've been living in it. The change started when Superintendent Larry Snelling started making critical policy & deployment changes, beginning with actually chasing armed suspects again. 👍

ICE is not "going after criminals". They are going after Latinos, regardless of citizenship status. And they are willing to commit acts of incredible violence against anyone & everyone in what they consider "Liberal America" if they so much as speak out against their actions. ICE = a criminal gang.
"Like most Americans, Leonardo Garcia Venegas wants to earn an honest living in peace," writes @jaredmcclain.bsky.social, a senior attorney at @ij.org.
"Unfortunately, he lives in fear that he’ll be arrested just for showing up to work."
