We almost did a post on this last week, when Newsweek declared Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker a front-runner in the 2028 election.

Will President Pritzker re-import all of the illegal immigrants that the Trump administration is going to deport? Pritzker appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" as a member of "Governors Safeguarding Democracy" to let it be known that local law enforcement wouldn't be cooperating with ICE in his sanctuary state. We're not sure how much weight that carries, as incoming border czar Tom Homan warned New York City that he would "do the job with or without you" and wouldn't hesitate to ramp up ICE's presence in the city if it didn't get with the program.
How exactly is not cooperating with deportations protecting democracy? We just had an election, and the people voted to kick the illegals out.
It's an added bonus that this clip was posted originally by Aaron Rupar, who must have thought Pritzker was stunning and brave.

Well, the governor of Illinois would be violating the law by harboring fugitives.

I guarantee the citizens of Chicago will be more than happy to assist in the process of deporting EVERY SINGLE ONE of the ILLEGALS! The sooner the better!

Ship them more illegals. Tell them as long as they stay in Illinois, ICE won't go after them. It will work itself out.

Federal funding: gone.

This isn't going to fly. We have a man named @RealTomHoman

in the United States, it is illegal to harbor undocumented immigrants, as per federal law. This is outlined under Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324, which addresses the prohibition on bringing in and harboring certain aliens.

We wonder who are the other "Governors Protecting Democracy."
if he engages in activities that are clearly illegal under federal law (like actively obstructing federal officers), legal action will definitely be considered.

Sanctuary cities need to be abolished.

Why exactly would law enforcement not want to enforce the law? And why would the governor knowingly interfere with law enforcement activities, against state and likely federal law, not to mention his oath of office?

Because the illegal immigrants are "his people," and to get to them you'll have to go through him.
It's a simple fix for noncompliance. Cut funding to states with sanctuary cities to zero until they comply. Whole state funding should be cut. Governors will get their people in line with a quickness.

At some point @GovPritzker may need to be arrested for obstruction. If I can't house and protect my own family members if they were to have an arrest warrant then he can't house and protect illegal immigrants with arrest warrants.

@GovPritzker just needs to stay out of the way. If he interferes, there’s always prison.
— Cap’n Jim Miller🇺🇸 (@FunnyJim1965) November 13, 2024
All of the illegal immigrants in the country should surge to Illinois so Pritzker can protect them.
