Threats and Opposition Faced by CBP

  • 🎯 Chief Patrol Agent Greg Bovino discusses a bounty placed on his head by an illegal alien gang member, highlighting the dangers CBP and ICE officers face nationwide.
  • 💡 Bovino expresses disappointment at the bounty amount but emphasizes that an illegal alien felt comfortable enough to issue such a threat, attributing this to the rhetoric from local officials.
  • ⚠️ He states that the governor and mayor's rhetoric contributes to violence against law enforcement, particularly among impressionable constituents.

Operation Midway Blitz and Public Support

  • 🇺🇸 Bovino asserts that 95% of citizens in Chicago, especially inner-city residents, are glad CBP is present to combat gangs like the Latin Kings, Serenos, and MS-13.
  • ✊ He delivers a message to these citizens, stating that CBP represents them and will ensure there are no kings in America, referring to the removal of monarchies centuries ago.
  • 🏙️ Currently, hundreds of CBP and Border Patrol agents are being deployed to violent areas of Chicago as part of Operation Midway Blitz.

Political Rhetoric and Its Impact

  • 🗣️ Bovino criticizes the inflammatory language used by elected officials, such as calling agents 'thugs' or 'Nazis,' stating it is reprehensible and incites violence.
  • 🚨 He believes this rhetoric causes constituents to act against law enforcement, leading to situations where violent criminals are not arrested.
  • 🚫 The elected representatives in Chicago have handcuffed their own police officers, preventing cooperation with Border Patrol and CBP.

Continued Mission and Warning to Migrants

  • 🚀 Despite opposition from the governor and mayor, Bovino affirms that CBP will continue its mission in Chicago, emphasizing its importance to the city and the country.
  • 📢 He issues a direct warning: "We're coming. And if you're an illegal alien or especially an illegal alien gang member, I would self-deport now, or we'll do it for you."

Challenges with Local Law Enforcement Response

  • 🚓 Bovino addresses an incident where Chicago police allegedly delayed their response to Border Patrol and ICE vehicles being surrounded by a crowd.
  • 🏢 He explains that rank-and-file officers support the mission but are afraid of retaliation from Mayor Johnson, who reportedly would fire officers for cooperating with federal immigration agencies.
