Not only do we have a great governor in Illinois, we also have a great Attorney General (even though his office gives me a lot of grief with my non-profit registration):

We are still waiting to see the result of this power struggle, and I hear helicopters over Lake Michigan every evening.

The Mayor was not silent either, and that’s what we need these days: call it what it is, a war on Chicago, not “special operation.”

Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for ‘dramatic’ response ahead of imminent National Guard deployment

Mayor Brandon Johnson delivered forceful rhetoric Monday against what he dubbed President Donald Trump’s “war on Chicago,” but offered few concrete answers about how to stop it ahead of an expected deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to the area in support of the federal government’s deportation campaign targeting the nation’s third-largest city.

Speaking at a news conference on the West Side in which he signed an executive order he said would deter U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Johnson told Chicagoans to stand together against the White House’s mounting threats of a military occupation.

His latest line in the sand came after weeks of roiling standoffs between federal immigration agents and protesters in Chicago and Broadview, where a suburban ICE facility has become ground zero for the local response against Trump’s “Operation Midway” deportation blitz.

“In the coming days and weeks, we may be pushed, if not forced, to take even more dramatic action if this administration continues to escalate and provoke our people,” Johnson told reporters. Pressed to elaborate, he said, “Everything. Everything, whatever is necessary to ensure that we’re protecting people.”
