Joe Abraham

Angel Dad to Katie Abraham. After losing my daughter to an illegal alien, I’m fighting for secure borders and real accountability to protect American families.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Amen!
You never hear about the victims that will never happen due to the work of ICE/DHS removing criminals.
Too late for Katie. She was sacrificed and in the grave. But others can be saved.

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Joe Rogan on ICE: "You're only seeing and hearing about American citizens being arrested, the lady being shot, all of the negative things. What you're not hearing about is the number of violent criminals that they've caught, and it's a lot."

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

What we had under Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas was chaos, death, pain and destruction.

Katie is in the grave, sacrificed for political power.

Katie and others like her, along with victims on every side, paid the price while parts of the media, look in mirror, remained complicit in the deliberate havoc inflicted on American families.

@TheJusticeDept MUST investigate @AliMayorkas

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

There was no screwworm under Joe Biden.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@SenatorDurbin your selective compassion is disgusting.

Here is an example of your fake "compassion".

Please take some time to watch this video of how "compassionate" @SenatorDurbin really is:
https://t.co/vSMTZaQxKK

Where were you between 2021–2025 when illegal immigrants were being abused under the very same policies you now pretend to oppose?

Where were you when my daughter Katie and others like her were killed because Illinois leaders refused to acknowledge the consequences of their ideology?

Now suddenly you care because it is politically convenient.

Senator, you are a complete fraud; selfish, one-sided, politically motivated, and devoid of wisdom or principle.

It is hard to believe Illinois has been represented this poorly for forty years.

I suppose politics is the only profession where outcomes and results never seem to matter.

Please do all of us a favor and stop talking, just quietly ride out your time.
You're so embarrassing to be lead by ideology over lives. Pathetic...

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

The cruelty is the point.

The Trump Administration is wrongly detaining people with no criminal records.

Then, in detention, they’re being treated in ways no human being should and dying.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@Giannoulias your tone deafness is staggering!

You are part of the problem. Please answer why you helped create the conditions that led to my 20-year-old daughter Katie being killed on the streets of Urbana by an illegal immigrant your policies accommodated and empowered.

@Giannoulias and @GovPritzker handed out driver’s licenses with virtually no guardrails, and Katie ended up dead because of it.

And now you want to be promoted after all of this?
Amazing.
Only in Illinois can failure this catastrophic be rewarded with higher office.

[Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias]

“These micromobility vehicles are quickly transforming how folks get around and are now part of everyday life,” Giannoulias said. “But innovation without guard rails puts people at risk.” @WSJ

https://t.co/4HHBxMWF4B via @WSJ

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@Giannoulias should be asked how and why Katie's killer was issued a driver's license.

A man with no formal education, language barriers, multiple aliases, and a history that should have raised questions was able to drive intoxicated, kill two young women, including my daughter Katie, and injure three others.

The public deserves answers. The media should be demanding them.

[Mary Ann Ahern @MaryAnnAhernNBC]

Not just these campaign style photos …. While he has NOT formally announced, however sources confirm public policy team and research hires are underway for Giannoulias mayoral run. (1/2).

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Governor Sherrill, in all your "compassion", you are welcome to visit and inspect my daughter Katie’s resting place.

Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant protected and enabled by Illinois sanctuary policies.
She received no consideration from any of Illinois one party supermajority "leaders".

She received no due process and first responders had to pry her lifeless body out of the vehicle.
I'm sure you'll want to hear the full story, unlike Illinois politicians.

Perhaps you can show Illinois and @GovPritzker that compassion should not be selective, conditional, or reserved only for causes that serve political ambition.

[Governor Mikie Sherrill @GovSherrillNJ]

After being denied access for weeks, I was finally allowed into Delaney Hall – but what I received was a closely controlled and limited tour of the facility. That is unacceptable.

I was not allowed to meet or speak directly with the detainees, which continues to raise serious questions about the real conditions of the facility and the treatment of those held there. I will continue to push to speak with the detainees directly. They deserve to be heard and the public deserves answers.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Katie is in the grave.

She will never have to worry about your latest “economic help” or political promises because your reckless sanctuary state policies already failed her permanently.

That is the reality families in Illinois live with while your administration continues providing special protections and privileges for some while forsaking the safety and dignity of innocent citizens.

There is nothing compassionate about policies without accountability or consequences.

When ideology matters more than innocent lives, it becomes morally indefensible and absent of wisdom.

Say her name @GovPritzker Katie.
Katie is worth more than your silence or worthless promises.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Americans are feeling the pain from Donald Trump’s tariffs to the Republicans in Congress taking away help.

Here in Illinois, we were able to provide working families direct economic relief and counter the inflationary price increases brought on by Washington’s failed policies.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Meanwhile Katie is in a grave thanks to @GovPritzker reckless sanctuary policies which helped put her there.

Katie hasn't had a meal with us for over 16 months.
I'd give the rest of my life and everything I have for one more meal with her....

And @GovPritzker completely turned his back on Katie and her family.
Tribal politics always carries the day in Illinois.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

"I was told the food was bad, so I sat in the cafeteria right along with the detainees."

Border czar Tom Homan says he made a surprise lunch visit to an ICE detention facility after hearing complaints about the food. He says he had spaghetti and meat sauce, green beans, rolls and butter, and a fruit drink, but skipped the cake for dessert.

"I couldn't finish it all," he said during an interview with @LaraLeaTrump.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

This was the hearing that amplified Katie’s death.

I sat just feet away from @GovPritzker as he completely ignored and disrespected her memory.

Not one Democrat on the oversight committee, or anywhere else in that room, said a word to our family.

Most spent their time attacking Trump instead.

Zero principle.

Because if Trump were a Democrat, many of these same voices would likely hail him as a savior and the greatest president ever. See Maine.

That is the sad reality of modern politics: no consistency, no humility, no concern for the families destroyed by the consequences of these policies.

Katie paid the price for that.

It is an awful way to live your life, and an even worse way to govern when your decisions devastate innocent families like ours.

@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

JB Pritzker fights harder to keep men in women’s bathrooms than he does to keep the Bears in Chicago.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Where is @SecDuffy and @TheJusticeDept

They both need to seriously investigate @Giannoulias and @govpritzker and anyone tied to the reckless sanctuary politics that knowingly created an environment that helped kill Katie!

How was Katies killer with all the issues he carried allowed to have a valid drivers license and kill two young women?
Then get a plea deal and release date?

We need help in Illinois!

[Chicago Flips Red @FlipChicagoRed]

Just remember: if you had to spend money burying a loved one because they were hit by an illegal immigrant, or if you were involved in a car accident and your insurance rates went up while the driver fled the scene, remember that Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias supported issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.

Now he’s running for mayor, with $18 million in campaign funds. Instead of Prison

Shame Shame

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@GovPritzker turned his back on lifelong American citizens like my daughter Katie. Anyone in Illinois can expect the same if your tragedy does not align with his political ideology or ambition for power. Katie is dead. That is reality while these people focus on empty symbolism and political theater.

Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant who never should have been here but @GovPritzker policies supported and protected.

Katie was killed by an illegal immigrant who never should have been here, but your policies protected him.

No vetting.
No accountability.
That has been the Illinois way under your leadership.

Oh, and every year Illinois families are forced to surrender more of their hard-earned tax dollars to sustain the very system that failed us.
The same system that helped support Katie’s killer and now pays for his incarceration and medical care treatment for HIV after my daughter lost her entire future.

BANG UP JOB, GOVERNOR!!

What a mess we are in Illinois...but we can avoid these self-inflected wounds. Read this short essay:

@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

We proudly fly the Pride Flag above the Illinois State Capitol this month.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

There is no principle anymore, only political tribalism.

The same people, such as @RoKhanna, who spent years railing against everything Trump now suddenly have no concerns when it aligns with their ideology or party loyalty in Maine.

No consistency.
No wisdom.
No independent thought.

Just blatant, transparent partisan obedience dressed up as “principle.”

Meanwhile Katie is still in a grave. That’s our reality in Illinois.

[RNC Research @RNCResearch]

Ro Khanna defends Graham Platner against abuse allegations from ex-girlfriends:

“There was no harm, no injury. There was toxicity, and there was, uh, verbal intimidation…but Graham has made it clear that there was no evidence of violence. To me, is a red line.”

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@SenDuckworth always seems to have endless concern for the latest “fashionable” cause.

My daughter Katie was killed in a preventable tragedy tied to policies Senator Duckworth championed while pretending there are no tradeoffs or consequences to them.

Senator, Katie was one of those tradeoffs. Families like mine live with the consequences of your policies every single day.

Katie’s life should have mattered at least that much.

Callous, insensitive, reckless and no wisdom.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Tammy Duckworth supporting men in women’s bathrooms

This is an actual U.S. Senator

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Katie was killed by one of JB Pritzker’s selected illegal immigrants.

Supported and protected by politicians unlike Katie and others like her. Why?

Illinois politicians pretend there are no tradeoffs to reckless policies, but ordinary citizens always pay the price for their arrogance and lack of wisdom.

And I promise you, the cost to families like mine is far more than $2.5 billion.

@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Hey Chicago Bears Fans,

Your blood is about to boil reading this:

I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.

At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.

Let that sink in.

For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.

Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.

This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Katie will never attend another sporting event because the unqualified illegal immigrant who killed her was given a valid Illinois driver’s license under your watch.

Yet you spend your time chasing publicity and licking athletes’ cleats instead of doing your job properly.
Such corruption!

Only in Illinois politics can failure become a promotion.

[Alexi Giannoulias @Giannoulias]

Got to hang out with some amazing Chicago athletes who are also really great people. You guys help make our City special. @CALEBcsw @RomeOdunze #PCA

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Please read this Substack post if you believe we the people in Illinois can’t overcome the Pritzker family wealth and political machine...
Link Here:
https://t.co/rLpERVAZ1i

JB Pritzker uses his enormous inherited wealth to spend hundreds of millions influencing political outcomes because politicians with failing ideas and worsening results no longer know how to persuade people honestly.

Instead, they rely on political machines, media narratives, fear, dependency, and financial dominance to coerce Illinois into accepting decline as normal.

Over time, that corruption and machine politics have demoralized voters into believing ordinary people no longer have enough influence to change the direction of this state.

But that is exactly the point of the piece, roughly four million eligible voters sat out the last governors election cycle, so:

“Not enough” can become more than enough.
More than enough to overcome the political machine.
More than enough to overcome the Pritzker money.

More than enough to remind politicians that Illinois belongs to its people and not political dynasties and entrenched political elites.

@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

Judge John J. McConnell:

Do you have any words for the innocent Americans killed or harmed because politicians distorted immigration policy and accepted the risks to citizens as a political tradeoff? Anything?

Or is your judgment and compassion reserved only for what aligns with your ideology and blind loyalty to party?

My daughter Katie is dead at the hands of an illegal immigrant who should never have been here.

And ABC News, we are still waiting for you to contact our family about Katie’s life and death instead of telling this immigration story from only one side.

Selective judgment and selective compassion should be exposed as unacceptable and even from judges.

Katie should not have been sacrificed to political ideology. She was more than collateral damage.

This is not justice. It is disgraceful.

[ABC News @ABC]

A federal judge said the Trump administration unlawfully paused immigration benefits for "countless" people living in the U.S. from dozens of countries following the shooting of National Guard members, putting their lives in "indeterminate legal limbo." https://t.co/D1bYujs7yg

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

.@GovPritzker , I supported this operation because identified criminals should not be freely operating in our communities. You clearly felt differently.

This operation was conducted in honor of my daughter Katie.

It was selective and limited in scope, and it did NOT have to look like this.

The chaos you now complain about is exactly what your sanctuary policies encouraged by blocking cooperation and forcing ICE into communities instead of allowing orderly enforcement.

As you likely don’t know, or worse, don’t care, Katie was killed because Illinois allowed an illegal immigrant with a horrendous background and serious health issues onto our roads and into our communities with zero meaningful guardrails.

Two people died, including Katie, and three others were injured.

You are a dangerous, irresponsible ideologue who prioritized politics over public safety.

And now Katie is in a grave because of it.

As a lifelong Illinoisan, Katie and the Bears should both still be here. Instead, families bury loved ones while iconic institutions flee the state your failed leadership helped create.

That reality will follow your legacy far longer than any political slogan.

@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

We won’t let people forget the atrocities that happened during Operation Midway Blitz and the erosion of our democracy here in the US.

Illinois will hold Donald Trump and his accomplices accountable.

[Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe]

I promise you, it's more than $2.8 Billion...

[Libs Of Chicago @Libs_OfChicago]

The City of Chicago has spent approximately $625 million on illegal aliens since 2022 & the State of Illinois spent $2.8 billion on illegal aliens since 2022.

I’m ok with legislatures not bending for the Bears but let’s hear a lil more about how illegal aliens have raised the tax burden on everyday Chicagoans.
