“ICE has found dangerous criminals in Chicago — violent felons, child traffickers, drug smugglers, and cartel members — all hiding under ‘sanctuary’ protections.” Danielle Carter-Walters, Vice President of Chicago Flips Red and 2027 Chicago mayoral candidate. Those remarks were delivered during her testimony before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration in Washington, D.C., on November 19, 2025, where she discussed her views on Chicago’s sanctuary policies, immigration enforcement, public safety, and city spending. Her testimony is part of the official congressional record. Get familiar with Danielle Carter-Walters. 🌹 Chicago Flips Red https://t.co/NSOZGGEMsu #ChicagoFlipsRed

A drag racer crashed into a vehicle on the South Side of Chicago with a child inside. Thankfully, the child appears to be physically unharmed, but clearly terrified. These kinds of street takeovers and drag racing events are reckless, dangerous, and completely unacceptable. Chicagoans should not have to live with this level of chaos on our streets. As Mayor, this will be one of my top public safety priorities. We are going to take immediate action to shut this down and hold people accountable. I will 1.Crack down on street racing and illegal takeovers with targeted enforcement in known hotspots. 2.Increase visible patrols and rapid-response units in affected neighborhoods, especially nights and weekends. 3.Use cameras, license plate tracking, and coordinated surveillance to identify organizers and repeat offenders. 4.Impound and permanently seize vehicles used in illegal racing and reckless endangerment. 5.Push for aggressive prosecution so offenders face real consequences, not slaps on the wrist. https://t.co/ePCg47Mrcl with community leaders to set up prevention programs for youth so this behavior doesn’t keep repeating Strengthen traffic safety design in high-risk corridors, including lighting, speed control, and physical deterrents. Protecting children and families on our streets is not optional, it’s the baseline of what a city government is supposed to do. Chicago deserves order, safety, and accountability on every block.

Thank you David Seaton for having me on. After several mass shootings happening every other day, teen takeovers, and illegal aliens everywhere, my administration will definitely welcome federal help. https://t.co/88VhbOUeXj Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor-2027 https://t.co/FRBcC9YivY

Hello Chicagoans Little Village, Pilsen, communities across the West Side, and Northside are Next. I recently went over to the South Shore community, from 75th and Exchange to 75th and Jeffery, to talk with citizens today, I visit local businesses, and see firsthand what is happening in the neighborhood. South Shore is very dear to me because it's where I grew up. From ages 1 to 14, I lived at 68th and Paxton. From age 14 on, I lived at 74th and South Shore Drive, and later raised my children on 76th and South Shore Drive. I also attended South Shore High School. I wanted to go back to the community that helped shape me, listen to the people who live there, and see for myself the challenges, that exist today. I took videos and spoke with citizens, and business owners, and I will be sharing those videos soon. This is just the beginning. I will also be visiting . My goal is to make my way through every neighborhood, listen to the citizens, and learn directly from the people who call these communities home. I love you all, and thank you for allowing me to hear your concerns, your ideas, and your hopes for the future of our city.

I was tagged in several videos on social media from people on the South Side showing trees still down in the streets, debris everywhere, and entire blocks that residents couldn't even get through because roads were still blocked. I told them I would address this to the City Council. Look, guys, if we want change, we must vote for change. We have to vote differently. You cannot keep putting the same people in office and expect different results. This is going to keep happening because the people you elect are not being held accountable, and too often they don't seem to care about the basic services our communities deserve. I will hold them accountable. I will make sure our communities receive the basic city services we pay for with our tax dollars. This is all I've been asking for, pushing for, and advocating for, that our tax dollars be spent on us, making our neighborhoods safer, cleaner, and better for the people who live here. That's why, when I'm Mayor. I will conduct forensic audits of every city department and make the results public so you can see exactly where your money has been going. Please visit my website, review my platform, and if you agree with my policies, I respectfully ask for your vote. Vote Danielle Carter-Walters for Mayor 2027.

Chicago just went through a couple of storms, and once again we’re seeing the same issue across too many, neighborhoods downed trees and debris still sitting in our streets days later. Citizens are complaining, and upset . I just took videos of the mess still sitting in our communities after this storm, blocks long, full of downed trees, debris, and blocked areas that have not been addressed. Citizens deserve better response times and better coordination. This is not just about cleanup, it’s about safety, access for emergency vehicles, and basic city services working when people need them most. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation is responsible for tree removal in the public right-of-way and debris cleanup, and the city must ensure these crews are fully deployed and prioritized to the hardest-hit areas immediately after storms. We are paying them a lot of money, and communities should not be left waiting while hazards remain on sidewalks, streets, and parkways. I will be addressing this at the next meeting. We need faster response, better planning, and real accountability so that after every storm, cleanup is immediate—not delayed. Chicago deserves safe, clean, and fully functional neighborhoods, especially when citizens are already dealing with storm damage.

Today, I had the honor of attending the Puerto Rican Parade in the beautiful neighborhood of Humboldt Park, celebrating the rich culture, history, and contributions of the Puerto Rican community. Established in 1958 and held every second Sunday in June, this tradition honors the 3.2 million residents of Puerto Rico and the millions of Puerto Ricans who call the United States home. It was wonderful to see families, community leaders, veterans, small businesses, and residents come together in a spirit of pride, unity, and celebration. As a candidate for Mayor, I believe every community deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. Chicago's Puerto Rican community has played a vital role in shaping our city, strengthening our neighborhoods, supporting small businesses, and enriching our culture for generations. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me, shared their stories, and celebrated this special day. I will continue visiting every ward and every neighborhood because every community deserves a seat at the table. Happy Puerto Rican Parade Day! Chicagoans First. One City. One Future.

My plan. Building up every community so every neighborhood thrives. From every block to every street, Chicagoans First. Chicago has lost businesses, jobs, and trust because of failed leadership, high taxes, and rising crime. As your Mayor, my plan will. • Protect & Grow Neighborhoods. Real infrastructure upgrades so streets stay safe, sewers drain, and neighborhoods thrive. • Invest in Citizens: Workforce pipelines connecting local youth to jobs through trade schools, community colleges, unions, and mentorship programs. • Support struggling businesses through relief programs, grants, and targeted assistance for those facing economic hardship. Cut red tape and unnecessary regulations to make it easier for businesses to open, operate, and thrive. Help citizens who live in their communities start businesses, become homeowners, and build generational wealth in the neighborhoods they call home. • Accountability First: Forensic audits on every city contract and grant to stop waste, fraud, and mismanagement. • Keep Residents Safe: More officers, better technology, and community-focused public safety that doesn’t abandon any area. Citizens deserve results, not empty promises. Together, we can Build up every community for every citizen, every neighborhood, every family, and every business, and much, much more.
