The law is breaking down and the streets are telling the truth. Chicago is not cooperating. The city is standing up to ICE. Officials are shielding migrants.

When the people who shape the news begin losing control of their own words, a civilization begins to go blind.

The USDA website now says “Radical Left Democrats shut down the government.” On a federal .gov site.
