Губернатор Иллинойса призвал к уголовному расследованию действий агентов ICE в рамках операции «Midway Blitz»
Губернатор штата Иллинойс Джейби Притцкер призвал официальные лица штата инициировать уголовные расследования в отношении агентов федеральной службы иммиграционного и таможенного контроля (ICE) и других федеральных сотрудников, участвовавших в операции «Midway Blitz». Поводом для этого послужил отчет комиссии по подотчетности Иллинойса, созданной губернатором для изучения действий федеральных агентов.В ходе пресс-конференции Притцкер заявил, что сообщества штата подверглись беспрецедентным кампаниям запугивания и жестокости, включая применение слезоточивого газа и дымовых гранат против мирных протестующих. В 150-страничном отчете, подготовленном группой экспертов (включая судей в отставке и бывших прокуроров), зафиксировано более десяти инцидентов, требующих расследования. Среди них упоминается гибель мексиканского гражданина Сильверио Вильягоса Гонсалеса, застреленного агентами ICE.Авторы отчета обвиняют администрацию Трампа в искажении фактов и сокрытии истинных целей операции. Согласно документу, высокопоставленные чиновники Белого дома и Министерства внутренней безопасности (DHS) поощряли неправомерные действия агентов, призывая их действовать максимально жестко, и препятствовали привлечению сотрудников к ответственности. В отчете также указывается на использование «неконституционной силы», включая избиения и применение химических средств.В ответ на эти обвинения исполняющая обязанности помощника секретаря Министерства внутренней безопасности Лорен Бис назвала действия губернатора «политическим трюком». Она заявила, что штаты не обладают полномочиями проводить расследования в отношении федеральных сотрудников, действующих при исполнении служебных обязанностей, и подвергла критике политику Притцкера.
Pritzker calls for criminal investigations into ICE agents over ‘Midway Blitz’ conduct
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker is urging state officials to pursue criminal investigations into federal immigration enforcement agents involved in Operation Midway Blitz, citing a report released by a commission he created to investigate federal agents' conduct during the months-long investigation.Pritzker’s Thursday press conference unveiling the Illinois Accountability Commission’s recommendation to pursue criminal investigations into ICE and other federal agents came just over a month after he first vowed to seek criminal charges against Trump administration officials and law enforcement officers he said had "broken the law.""Our communities and our people were subjected to an unprecedented campaign of harassment, intimidation and brutality," Pritzker said at the news conference. "They deployed tear gas and smoke grenades against peaceful protesters and peaceful crowds and in peaceful neighborhoods. They committed flagrant and egregious abuses of power and force that went unchecked."CHICAGO RESIDENT FIRES BACK AT LIBERAL GOVERNOR'S PLEDGE TO SHIELD MIGRANTS FROM ICE RAIDSThe report was compiled by eight members who were appointed to the commission by Pritzker. Members of the commission include retired judges, a retired law enforcement official, former prosecutors and a nonprofit leader. The report pinpointed more than a dozen incidents involving federal agents as alleged instances of misconduct that warrant further investigation, including the death of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was shot and killed by ICE agents.The more than 150-page report accused the Trump administration of lying about the motivation behind Operation Midway Blitz and that it "distorted key facts about events involving federal immigration agents.""High-level White House, DHS and other federal officials enabled and encouraged misconduct by ICE and CBP agents during Operation Midway Blitz by urging agents to ‘go hard,’ defending and mischaracterizing incidents of use of force, shielding agents from accountability, lifting safeguards, and effectuating harmful policies," the report alleged.The report alleged that federal agents engaged in "unconstitutional uses of force" which consisted of "extreme physical force, indiscriminate use of chemical agents, shootings, beatings, and other violent acts."ILLINOIS GOV. JB PRITZKER MOVES TO BOYCOTT EL SALVADOR FOR AIDING TRUMP OVER KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA’S DETENTION"Governor Pritzker continues to refuse to do his job to protect his citizens from illegal alien crime and instead chooses to smear our law enforcement," Department of Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. "Where is the investigation into his own policies that allowed Sheridan Gorman's killer to be released from jail to go on and commit her heinous murder?"Bis slammed Pritzker's calls for criminal prosecution as "nothing more than a political stunt.""Federal officers acting in the course of their duties can only be investigated by other Federal agencies," Bis said. "The states do not have the authority to run such an investigation."Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and the Office of the Illinois Attorney General for comment.
