(End of the American Dream)—When people are literally fighting against the government, what else are we supposed to call it? Earlier today, I wrote an article about the death spiral that New York City has now entered. But of course Chicago has been in a death spiral for a long time. As conditions in the Windy City have deteriorated, there has been a mass exodus of wealthy taxpayers and law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, mass immigration has fueled the explosive growth of Chicago gangs.
Recently, FBI Director Kash Patel admitted that there are now “110,000 gang members” living in Chicago. They outnumber the police by about a 10 to 1 margin, and there are many neighborhoods that are simply not safe for anyone to go into at night.
The largest gang in the city of Chicago is known as the Latin Kings. It has more than 25,000 members, and the leaders of the gang have just issued a “shoot on sight” order for any federal agents that are involved in immigration enforcement operations in the city…
Customs and Border Protection officials said Latin Kings street gang leaders have issued a “shoot on sight” order targeting agents involved in immigration operations in Chicago, NewsNation has learned.
“Officer/agents are reminded to maintain heightened situational awareness and exercise extreme caution when conducting enforcement activities,” the agency’s internal warning said.
Needless to say, thousands of the members of the Latin Kings gang came into this country illegally.
And they are willing to kill to keep from being deported.
When asked about the threat from the Latin Kings, a DHS spokesperson would not comment on them specifically.
But that spokesperson did acknowledge the tremendous violence that we have witnessed on the streets of Chicago lately…
A DHS spokesperson wouldn’t comment on the reported Latin Kings threat but added “our law enforcement is now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst.”
“Nearly everyday we have seen violence, assaults, or smears against our officers in Chicago, including yesterday when agents vehicles were rammed multiple times and shots fired at them.”
The specific incident that the DHS spokesperson was referring to took place in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood…
Chaos erupted in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood late Saturday morning as federal immigration agents detained a person and reportedly used a flash bang as an angry crowd gathered, according to an alderman and video of the incident posted on social media.
The reason why federal agents used a flash bang grenade is because a male driving a black Jeep fired shots at them…
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News in a statement that U.S. Border Patrol was conducting “immigration enforcement operations” near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when an unknown male driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene.
DHS also claimed a number of “agitators” threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles.
The good news is that they found the shooter.
He is from Mexico, and he is in this country illegally…
A suspect has been arrested in connection to a shooting Saturday targeting Border Patrol agents in Chicago, the Department of Homeland Security said on X Monday.
DHS said the suspect is from Mexico, and is in the U.S. illegally.
Officials said the suspect has previously been convicted for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/vehicle, felony possession of a weapon and illegal entry.
We see this same pattern so many times.
Violent criminals that are in this country illegally are arrested and convicted, but then they are put right back into the streets.
Hopefully this violent criminal will finally be deported for good.
Following the shooting incident, crazed rioters viciously attacked federal agents several more times…
DHS said after the scene was cleared, a car tried to ram their convoy at Cermak and California, but was stopped by a controlled tire deflation device. Then, as the group was trying to continue toward an FBI facility, two drivers tried to “impede operations.” According to DHS, agents warned the drivers to stop, but one driver attempted to ram the convoy and was arrested.
When Border Patrol left the FBI facility, DHS claims they found protesters lying on the ground near 26th Street and Pulaski. DHS says protesters refused to comply and began throwing things. Federal agents cleared the area and continued to a Sam’s Club parking lot where DHS claims they were stalked and a car rammed a Border Patrol car.
It is open warfare on the streets of Chicago.
And sometimes innocent families are getting caught in the crossfire…
Cellphone video showed the moment Saturday morning Rafael Veraza says he and his family were pepper sprayed by Border Patrol agents in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club in Cicero, just over the city border from Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.
“He started spraying from the front of the car towards the back. Basically I got sprayed all over my face,” Veraza said.
He says the effect was immediate.
“I’m asthmatic. I’ve been with asthma since I was a little kid,” Veraza said. “So the moment that it hit me, I couldn’t breathe.”
The mainstream media is not giving what is going on in Chicago enough attention.
Nearly every day there are more violent confrontations.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin is blaming JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson for the “environment of lawlessness” that now exists…
“JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have fueled an environment of lawlessness and assault on federal law enforcement,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “In less than three hours in Chicago, Border Patrol faced gunshots, violent mobs at every stop, bricks and other objects thrown at them, and four vehicle rammings.”
“The violence in Chicago against law enforcement is unprecedented—These attacks are the consequence of vitriolic smears from sanctuary politicians and the media. Just last week, Chicago and national media falsely accused law enforcement of raiding a daycare center. Now, they are silent when our agents come under gunfire.”
This crisis isn’t going to go away.
The Trump administration is going to continue to conduct deportation operations, and the opposition to those deportation operations is only going to get even more violent.
Civil unrest is one of the key elements of “the Perfect Storm” that we are now experiencing.
It appears to be inevitable that a lot of people will get hurt or killed during this period of violent civil unrest.
My advice would be to avoid the chaos if you possibly can, because what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
What does it take for people to see why the governor and the mayor were trying to stop the national guard, ICE and any outside law enforcement in their city? Maybe to protect the drug flow and this gang that brings in the drugs into the city? Are these two the new AL Capone’s there and not wanting their gig messed with! Or their millions on millions of dollars messed with?
As an outsider looking in I think Pritzker and the mayor of Chicago are in on the take. I lived in Chicago in 65-66 was held up at Washinton and Waren blvd bus stop by 3 minorities. I left as soon as i graduated from trade school. I do not even feel comfortable flying into Ohare airport. I would never consider living in Chicago ever again!
NYC, CHICAGO, AND ANY OTHER BIG BLUE CITY DESERVE WHAT THTHEY GET BY REJECTING THE HELP OFFERED, OR ELECT PEOPLE WANT THE CITY TO COLLAPSE. FED NEED TO BACK OU AND ENCIRCLE THE CITY SO THE STUPID MASSES CAN GET WHAT THET DESERVE PROTECT ONLY THOSE WHO WANTIT T=LET THOSE WHO ARE TOO STUPID TO THINK GET EVERYTHING THEY DESERVE.
Pro Tip
Stay away from ICE action. Nobody can breathe when gassed
What a whiner.
Was my last post to strong, and to the truth? Look to the head of the snake ,think about it?
Interesting!
I shall see no evil , speak no evil, and hear no evil! So much for freedom of the first amendment, SPEECH, PRESS, AND THE LIKE ECT!
First time commenters always get screened. We get around 300 spam/porn/hacker comments per hour. We try to stay on top of it but it’s a full time job to sift through the spammers so our brilliant and intellectually superior commenters can see their posts in under an hour.
Use an AI agent to weed them out first then you won’t have to use so much manual labor
MY apologies, I thought that you might be compromised, i was wrong!
Great reporting. End the H1-B foreigner import scam and hire American.
“40 Days”! The number of days Jesus spent in the wilderness before his burden removing, yoke destroying ministry started. Watch t and behold the DEMonshiviks be routed by the GODs in Heaven.
Why hasn’t Trump arrested George Soros. Because they are all in on it. ALL OF THEM.
Anyone with a Latin Kings Tattoo should be summarily executed. They want to dance, they gotta pay the band.
Bondi is not helping ICE. She should be sending marshals to accompany them. The FBI should be storming gang leader hideouts. Bondi is not on our side.
If the Gang “Latin Kings” is the largest in America, and they just told their members to “Shoot on Sight” ICE Agents, then they need to be Classified as a Terrorist Organization, aka a Domestic Enemy…
My sources in Havana Cuba now tell me all these little brainwashed 20s kiddies have taken a occult blood path to the new USSR in Chicago and they meet after hours at the Cubs stadium
When the trouble starts big time, none of the stores will be restocked. Truck drivers will not risk their lives or property by entering those hell zones. Once the illegals have asset stripped their respective sanctuary cities, they will be forced by hunger and cold to move on the suburbs. No one will be safe in their houses !!!!!! The law abiding citizens had better start drawing up mutual defense plans right now. I feel sorry for the good citizens trapped in hell with those criminals from another country, imported by Mayorkas the Khazarian Mafia D-bag !!!!!!
