Illinois governor says 'violent' illegal immigrants should be deported, open to meeting with Trump officials

The Democratic governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, says he agrees with one part of border czar appointee Tom Homan’s historic mass deportation campaign under the incoming Trump administration.

Pritzker was responding to comments made by Homan at the Northwest Side GOP gathering that happened Monday evening,  according to FOX 32 Chicago, where he threatened to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. The move would impact tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants in Chicago and Illinois.

“Violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported,” Pritzker said at an unrelated news conference, the local station reported. “I do not want them in my state, I don’t think they should be in the United States.”

Homan has said no one is off the table when it comes to deportations, although public safety threats will be the priority. He directly mentioned Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson in his remarks.

“If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside,” Homan said. “But if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors an illegal alien, I will prosecute him.”

Pritzker has said he would welcome a meeting with Homan or the incoming Trump administration, according to FOX 32, but no one has reached out to him.

Illinois republicans not only urge Pritzker to work with Homan, but say the state should repeal sanctuary laws that generally limit law enforcement’s cooperation with ICE.

Currently, 1.4 million noncitizens have deportation orders but are not currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, according to new figures obtained by Fox News.

Indianapolis, IN

Very humid through Thursday night with more storms on the way

Very humid through Thursday night with more storms on the way


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Scattered storms remain possible over the coming days. Some could be strong with heavy rain and gusty winds.  Less humid air returns for a few days starting Friday. 

TUESDAY EVENING/NIGHT:

The warm and humid air mass in place will support a continuing chance of showers & storms. Not everyone will get one… but if a storm forms it does have the potential to produce torrential rainfall, gusty winds, and perhaps some hail. Muggy lows in the lower 70s can be expected again. 

WEDNESDAY:

Some morning showers, storms, and clouds are possible but the afternoon is looking like it’ll be downright sultry with highs around 90 and heat indices near 100. Southwesterly breezes 10-20 will ease the burden a bit, but be sure to take extra steps to stay cool and hydrated.  The 30 year average date of the first 90 in Indianapolis is June 19th.

Model data suggest a storm complex or two may graze northern Indiana in the later part of the afternoon and evening. It’s too early to tell if this will affect Central Indiana or not.  

WEDNESDAY NIGHT:

Warm and very humid conditions stick around. Look for another night with lows in the 70s.  Once again, some data suggest that a batch of gusty storms could roll across Northern Indiana.  That will be something to watch.

THURSDAY:

Warm, breezy, and very humid conditions hang around one more day.  Highs near 90 with heat indices around 100 appear likely.  While a shower or storm could pop anytime in the muggy air, most of the daylight hours should remain dry.  

A cold front will push in from the west during the evening and overnight hours.  This front will likely spark a line of strong to severe storms in Illinois.  These storms will move towards Central Indiana, but they may be in a weakening phase prior to arrival here. We’ll just have to watching things evolve.  The main severe threat in this setup would be damaging wind gusts it appears. 

FRIDAY:

After an early day rain & storm chance, the majority of the day should be pretty nice with partly cloudy skies, warm highs in the 80s, but lower humidity levels.  Any outdoor plans for Friday evening look great!

WEEKEND:

The pick day will be Saturday with plentiful sunshine, warmer temperatures, light winds, and reasonably dry air for a change.  Humidity increases again for Sunday and that will lead to another chance of scattered rain & storms.
