They don’t want legal immigration either.
“A group of people who were ready to be sitting in these very seats, raising their right hand to swear an oath to become citizens were turned away at the door because of their countries of origin, stemming from the hateful policies of this federal administration,” said Mayor Wu.

Chicago Police Chief Snelling needs to be grilled by all elected officials and journalists about why the *Hell* this is happening.

If he ordered it, if he allows it to go on, he must be replaced with someone who won't.

Trump is gutting car mileage standards, the same as adding 165 million cars off the roads for one year. His new rule will require only an average of 34.5mpg for cars and light trucks in model year 2031, down from the standard of 50.4 mpg set by Biden. This new rule continues Trump’s war on EVs.
