Governor JB Pritzker's policies in Illinois have been criticized for creating instability and concerns over public safety, according to recent statements. Critics claim that sanctuary city policies and directives to law enforcement in Chicago have led to increased risks for residents and limited support for federal officers.

President Trump responded by launching Operation Midway Blitz, an initiative aimed at restoring order in Illinois. However, there are ongoing disputes between state and federal authorities regarding the handling of undocumented immigrants and law enforcement collaboration.

A series of recent headlines highlights these tensions, including reports of attacks on ICE vehicles, criticism from Chicago police sources regarding their department's response to federal agents, and the designation of "ICE Free Zones" in the city. Additionally, incidents such as a professor being charged with violent felonies after unrest at an ICE facility have contributed to the ongoing debate.

Chris Miller, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023 to represent the 101st House District, succeeding Reggie Phillips.

"Governor JB Pritzker has created complete chaos in Illinois from his radical policies that put Illinois citizens last. Between sanctuary city policies and his dangerous rhetoric, Illinois citizens are less safe and law enforcement officers are being told to ‘stand down’ in Chicago. President Trump launched Operation Midway Blitz to bring law and order back to Illinois, but Pritzker continues to treat illegal criminals like gold and is inciting violence against ICE officers. Take a look at the screenshots below from ICE, these are the dangerous criminals Pritzker is fighting to protect and keep in the great state of Illinois."
