Whenever I read or hear people bash Chicago and paint it as a terrible place, I always think: “But wait, have you been here?” I still walk around wide-eyed, jaw dropped.
We’ll see how things change in Minneapolis with Gregory Bovino gone. But he and his Border Patrol agents are the ones responsible for the biggest excesses in Chicago, Los Angeles, elsewhere. Homan isn’t the architect of the roving convoys stopping at Target and going for anyone.
It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote in state and federal elections. And studies and audits done in several states confirm that voter fraud is exceedingly rare. We’re talking maybe a handful or two of cases — certainly not the hundreds of thousands necessary to flip Illinois red.
Read this. The Minnesota state prison system suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

There’s a new way to try to insult theater kids, huh? Amazing how easily threatened some people are. Also who’s the “nerd” really? https://t.co/UOZIm7iFA6
Keep hearing from sources openly worrying about the city's ability to pass a budget before the end of the month. Re-upping this @JakeSheridan_ story from last year (which the mayor's office declined to comment on at the time)...
My first column is about losing my father to deportation — a grief of distance and of loving someone still living but lost to reach.
