Consequently, they do everything that they can a) to stop me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters and b) stop everyone from reading those newsletters. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.)

— Lightfoot Calls Out Aldermen For Making ‘Racist’ Comments Against Sanctuary City Ordinance: ‘Shame On You’ The mayor slammed Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st) and Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th), who opposed changes to the sanctuary city ordinance Wednesday. “Being an immigrant is not a crime,” Lightfoot said. – Justin Laurence (DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will Lightfoot officially banish from Chicago all individuals, organizations, and companies that are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)
https://blockclubchicago.org/2021/01/27/lightfoot-calls-out-aldermen-for-making-racist-comments-against-sanctuary-city-ordinance-shame-on-you/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The council approved the revamped law by a 41-8 vote, closing loopholes that had allowed for the Chicago Police Department to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in some scenarios. Napolitano, the council’s lone Republican member who said he’s a “proud son” of immigrants, said that by eliminating those exceptions “we are essentially welcoming criminals to our city.” “If you are an illegal immigrant and a convicted felon, or a fugitive, what better place to go than Chicago,” he said. “This ordinance irresponsibly offers protections to those who have possibly broken the law to hide underneath this ordinance and gives them safe haven from federal prosecution.” Napolitano said he knew he’d receive criticism for his “no” vote, but said he wanted the Council to know he’d “lose more sleep every night knowing how we failed our citizens with our alarming crime rate, homicides, carjackings, shootings.” Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) said he opposed the changes “not because of racism and xenophobia, but because I too represent immigrant communities.” He said the law threatens the safety of residents in his Southwest Side ward and some undocumented immigrants in his area are gang members. “They have been sucked in by the generational violence that impacts so many of our communities,” he said. Those individuals would be treated with the “same compassion” as law abiding members, he said.)
POLITICO ILLINOIS
— GOP to name party chair: Members of the Republican State Central Committee will meet in Bloomington on Saturday to elect a new party chairman. There’s concern among some Republicans that the meeting is purposely being done in person in Bloomington, which is inaccessible to many, so as to keep the public out. GOP leaders will interview applicants Mark Shaw, the Lake County Republican chairman; Don Tracy, the former head of the Illinois Gaming Board in the Rauner administration; and Scott Gryder, an attorney from Kendall County. – Shia Kapos
