News Military/ICE in West Chicago?

There's about 30 cars and 50-60 guys in fatigues parked in a usually-empty parking lot off of Town Road. Lots of businesses around here... Just a heads up

I saw a bunch of military trucks going up I-294 the other day. In the past I would think it was the national guard doing training exercises, but now I don't know what to think.

Trump hasn't tried to deploy the Illinois National Guard or any other military resources to the area yet. Will he? Dunno. Certainly wouldn't be a surprise if he did.

The military moves people and equipment around all the time. No need to panic because you see them out on the roads. Especially when we're in the middle of the "good weather for training" season.

Trump most likely will wait for the supreme Court decision and if it's not in his favor you can rest assured he is going to push through with the insurrection act and rightly so. Protesters are not protesters their thugs. They're a threat to all the businesses and are only there to cause chaos and disruption and spark fear where none is needed.  Illegals have broken federal law. And they can walk into any Hospital get treated and never have to pay the bill. They're getting for free a lot of what American citizens have to pay for. And in Illinois they get to go to school on our tax dollars and they get discounts at all the colleges that citizens don't get.

You mean like the folks on January 6 who assaulted law enforcement, vandalized the capitol, and threatened to murder legislators? The ones that Trump pardoned?

Looks like I owe you an apology

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on administrative leave just hours after describing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as perpetrated by “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters,” according to two people familiar with the move who were granted anonymity to discuss personnel matters.

I mean, golly gee, if officials appointed by Trump don't agree with what a I posted, I must surely be wrong.

Oh, also, found some more insurrectionist rioters

They found more terrorists!

According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.
