President Trump is finally keeping his promise to American families who have lost loved ones to illegal immigrant crime. ICE launched Operation Midway Blitz this week in Chicago to hunt down criminal aliens who have been roaming free under Democrat sanctuary policies. The operation honors Katie Abraham, a beautiful 20-year-old college student killed by a drunk driving illegal immigrant in January.
Katie was visiting friends at the University of Illinois when Julio Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan man in our country illegally, slammed into her car and killed her. This young woman had her whole life ahead of her, but Governor Pritzker’s reckless sanctuary policies gave this criminal a safe haven. Now her heartbroken parents are demanding justice while Democrats stay silent.
ICE officials made it clear they are targeting the worst criminals who flocked to Chicago because they knew liberal politicians would protect them. Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug dealers have been walking Chicago streets freely thanks to sanctuary city madness. These are not innocent families seeking a better life – these are dangerous criminals who prey on Americans.
Border czar Tom Homan warned that sanctuary cities across the country should expect similar operations in the coming days. For too long, Democrat mayors and governors have put illegal aliens ahead of their own citizens. President Trump is sending a clear message that no city will be a safe haven for criminal aliens.
Predictably, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and other Democrats are refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement. They would rather protect criminal aliens than keep their own residents safe. This is exactly the kind of backwards thinking that got Katie Abraham killed in the first place.
Immigration lawyers are complaining that their clients are now afraid to leave their homes. Good – maybe criminal aliens should be afraid instead of innocent Americans living in fear. The Supreme Court just cleared the way for ICE to use stronger tactics, giving agents the tools they need to do their jobs.
While Democrats cry about enforcement operations, they remain shamefully silent about victims like Katie Abraham. Where is their outrage over American citizens being murdered by people who should never have been here? Their deafening silence speaks volumes about their true priorities.
This is what real leadership looks like – putting American lives first and making our communities safe again. Every criminal alien removed from our streets means another American family that won’t have to suffer like the Abrahams. President Trump is delivering on his promise to protect the American people.
