The Department of Homeland Security rejected Gov. JB Pritzker’s (D-IL) claims about Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts in his state, specifically in Chicago, categorizing his statements as “harmful lies.”
Citing an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union and a press conference Pritzker held on Monday, the DHS issued a press release condemning the governor’s comments, claiming that he “repeatedly lied about federal law enforcement operations in Chicago.” He referred to ICE agents as “Noem’s thugs,” in reference to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
