Bovino’s Chicago exit after the city pushes back and temperatures drop
Was it something we said?
Nov 11, 2025
Federal Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino is getting out of Dodge. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. Oh yes, and a photo op, posing at the Bean with his ICE enforcers shouting “Little Village!” like a victory chant. But in truth, it’s a retreat, a tactical withdrawal under legal fire, public outrage, and a collapsing narrative.
Or maybe it just got too damn cold for these Texas snowflakes.
The celebratory ICE selfie at the Bean, a Chicago tourist destination, was a humiliating low point for the city and should never have been allowed to take place. It surely would have been closed off if it were rumored to become a gathering for black teens. But Bovino’s gang of gun-toting, masked fascist thugs was able to group-selfie there with impunity.
Governor Pritzker called it “disgusting.” He was being polite. This was fascist propaganda at its worst—a grotesque attempt to reframe repression as heroism.

Bovino’s deployment to Chicago was never about public safety. It was always intended as MAGA theater, a hinted prelude to a full-scale invasion of Democratic cities, leading up to Election Day 2026. Over 200 agents parachuted into our sanctuary city under the banner of “Operation Midway Blitz,” a name that evokes the Nazi Blitzkrieg with tanks rolling into Poland and the psychological shock of sudden foreign occupation.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol officers have arrested more than 1,000 migrants, many of whom were detained or deported without due process.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis didn’t mince words. She caught Bovino lying under oath, claiming he was struck by a rock before deploying tear gas in Little Village. Video evidence showed otherwise. The judge slapped him with a body cam order and, briefly, nightly check-ins. An appeals court softened the blow, but the damage to his credibility was done.
Then, yesterday came the unsubstantiated claim, circulated by CBP and DHS, that the Latin Kings street gang was under orders to “shoot on sight” at ICE. No evidence or reliable sources were offered to support the claim; only a report of two random shots being fired, a car rammed, and a brick and water bottles thrown at the raiders by righteously pissed off members of the community.
DHS insists it’s not “leaving” Chicago. ICE remains, and a few hundred mobilized National Guard troops are being stashed away in Chicago suburbs, far from the city. Bovino and his agents are reportedly being redeployed to Charlotte, New Orleans, and possibly elsewhere. The official line? “Intelligence-driven rotation.”
The real story? Chicago got organized and pushed back.
A call to action from Indivisible —
Tomorrow, the six indicted protestors from Broadview will be arraigned. So let’s make our voices heard and protect our right to protest and continue to declare No to ICE and the agents of the Trump regime.

Terrific reply! Thank you, Mike! Not in Chicago now, or I’d be there!
