CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 8, 2025
CHICAGO MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON HAS CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ORDER OF NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS INTO THAT TOWN “UNHINGED, UNHEALTHY” AND ILLEGAL. HE HAS ALSO DECLARED WHAT HE CALLS “ICE-FREE ZONES,” MEANING AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE CHICAGO COPS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ASSIST ICE AGENTS OR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS. THE LOW-RATED JOHNSON HAS ALSO CALLED THE PRESENCE OF TROOPS AN INVASION. LIBERAL ILLINOIS GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER HAS USED SIMILAR LANGUAGE.
WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT, HE ALLOWED MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS TO BREAK OUR LAWS BY COMING INTO THE COUNTRY, RECEIVE BENEFITS FROM TAXPAYERS AND IN SOME CASES COMMIT CRIMES. DEMOCRAT MAYORS WERE COMPLICIT IN THE LAW-BREAKING BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO ARREST AND PROSECUTE THEM.
RELATIVES OF SOME OF THOSE MURDERED BY ILLEGALS ARE NOW SPEAKING OUT AND DEMANDING JUSTICE. THEY DESERVE IT, BUT JUSTICE ALSO SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE MAYORS AND GOVERNORS WHO ENABLED THE CRIMINALS. THEY WERE ACCOMPLICES AND SHOULD FACE ACCOUNTABILITY.
WE CAN ARGUE WHETHER IT IS RIGHT AND CONSTITUTIONAL FOR A PRESIDENT TO SEND IN FEDERAL TROOPS BUT IF THE LOCAL POLICE ARE OVERWHELMED AND THE POLITICIANS REFUSE TO RESPOND, HOW IS THE PUBLIC TO BE PROTECTED? I’M CAL THOMAS.
