CHICAGO — At least 11 people are facing felony charges in connection with Mexican Independence Day festivities over the weekend. Chicago police officers recovered at least six firearms downtown, and two drivers are charged with trying to run down cops working the celebrations.

City officials tried to seal off the downtown area by blocking access with police cars and salt and garbage trucks. But their efforts seemed to only inconvenience downtown residents, tourists, and working folks trying to get to their jobs.

Chicago police arrested 33-year-old Roberto Valencia in the 5100 block of South Pulaski around 10:22 p.m. Saturday. They said he threw glass bottles and fireworks toward officers working the Mexican Independence Day patrol. But he’s also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. Levin said officers found about $500 worth of suspected cocaine in a fanny pack inside a car he jumped into as cops approached him.

Levin also presented allegations against two men who allegedly drove cars toward Chicago cops during the Mexican Independence Day party.

Mayor Brandon Johnson and his radical allies from the Chicago Teachers' Union want to flood Chicago with migrants. A few short years ago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel was closing public school buildings due to declining enrollments. The Marxist teachers' union leaders see the migrant children as the means to fill the empty desks and soak the taxpayers for more dollars in the name of public education.

The past weekend has been absolute chaos.

This can’t be true. Chicago has stringent gun control. It simply can’t be true.... < sarc >

Thank goodness No Cash Bail just went into effect or some of those people’s might have to wait in lock up

Hope Abbott keeps sending those good and hard working people to Chicongo. Strength through diversity.

Anybody know what happened to “the melting pot”? We’re not supposed to be celebrating Messican Independence in this country while azzhos are complaining about the parades and fireworks on AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Sounds like a missed opportunity to round up and deport a lot of Mexicans.

[Chode]

No cash bail, ROR, out by 5pm.

Just another Biden success story ... the result of him destroying the Middle Class.

“No cash bail, ROR, out by 5pm!”

An Illinois female friend and her older sister have no grasp of reality re what “No Cash Bail”, will do to the state of Illinois and the good people still left there.

If police “recovered” six firearms, why did they lose or hand out so many in the first place?

Right on! What exactly are they celebrating? Things are so terrific that millions chose to migrate to El Norte. How many revolutions have occurred in these countries?

[SuperLuminal]

Should have taken the opportunity to have a mass roundup for deportation when all those migrant vermin congregated for the celebration...
