					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg</em></p>
<p>Illinois has been known as a “sanctuary state” since August of 2017 when <strong>Governor Pritzker</strong> signed the <strong>TRUST Act</strong> (SB 31) into law.</p>
<p>This legislation restricts both local and state law enforcement from cooperating in any way with <strong>Immigration and Customs Enforcement</strong> (ICE).</p>
<p>As we have seen in recent months, the reality of Illinois being a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants has continued to build to a boiling point.</p>
<p>If you thought the TRUST Act was radical legislation, this past week revealed the dangerous reality for citizens living in a “sanctuary state” with a governor who has little concern for his constituents – those he is obligated to protect.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/governor-pritzker-penalizes-citizen-for-doing-his-job/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Christian conservatives across the nation clearly see what the biased media refuses to report: leftists are intentionally escalating tensions in Minnesota, with some openly advocating violence, and even armed confrontation, against federal agents. Antifa thugs have gone so far as to call for a “guerrilla war.”</p>

<p>You just knew when anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protester <strong>Renee Good</strong> tragically died in Minneapolis on Jan. 7 that the media would turn her into the next <strong>George Floyd</strong>.</p>
<p>Floyd, whose asphyxiation death under the knee of a police officer triggered the 2020 anti-police riots that took at least 25 lives and caused $2 billion in damage, has since been virtually deified. Minneapolis has named a square after him and erected a “living memorial” featuring art installations, including a raised-fist sculpture, in his honor.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/01/the-media-is-repeating-the-george-floyd-playbook/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p data-start="431" data-end="756">Governor <strong>JB Pritzker</strong> has repeatedly resorted to irresponsible and inflammatory language to demonize President <strong>Donald J. Trump</strong>, federal law enforcement officials, and Republicans in general.

<p data-start="758" data-end="1056">Terms like <em data-start="769" data-end="808">“Nazi,” “jackbooted thugs,” “tyrant,”</em> and <em data-start="813" data-end="825">“fascists”</em> aren’t just political insults — they’re rhetorical grenades lobbed to manipulate the press and distort public perception.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/10/the-big-lie-pritzkers-reckless-rhetoric/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Richard Harris</em></p>
<p>Our nation is facing an unprecedented crisis of illegal immigration — one that threatens not only our national sovereignty but the foundational principle that is essential for the maintenance of a free society: the rule of law.</p>
<p>The plain truth is that those who cross into our nation unlawfully have violated the law. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, it is a misdemeanor to enter the United States illegally. That some administrations have failed to enforce these laws does not make these individuals legal residents.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/08/the-rule-of-law-and-the-crisis-of-illegal-immigration/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>Since the 1990s, federal agencies and the media have fed Americans a steady diet of panic about shadowy “right-wing militias” — usually ex-military guys obsessed with guns and ready to wage war against the government at a moment’s notice.</p>
<p>The panic went into overdrive after <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.theblaze.com/truth/">January 6</a>, 2021. But now, in a staggering act of projection, the threat they’ve spent decades warning about has arrived — only it’s coming from the radical left.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/07/what-do-you-call-12-antifa-radicals-in-body-armor/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>On December 18th, officials at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a record number of foreign nationals at the southern border, with over 12,600 apprehensions in a single day. Those apprehended are often processed and released — which allows &#8220;undocumented&#8221; immigrants to remain in the U.S. while awaiting immigration proceedings. CBP agents are mandated, by <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/12/31/cbp-chief-biden-plan-will-only-delay-migrant-surge-at-mexican-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a>, not to hold illegal aliens for more than 72 hours. We are now learning that Immigration and Customs Enforcement asylum hearings are being <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/migrants-check-date-delays-1854332" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled eight years from now</a>.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/12/hordes-of-illegal-immigrants-continue-surge-at-southern-border/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>When in global history has a sovereign nation’s own government aided an invasion against its own people? At this point, we could build a 2,000-mile border wall up to the heavens, but if we don’t neutralize the malfeasant leadership at the DHS, they will simply bring the invaders through the front door.</p>
<p>Much like gas prices, which spiked to biblical levels and then settled at a very high and unacceptable baseline, the border numbers are still extremely high, but slightly off their peak.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/08/as-biden-admin-undermines-texas-border-security-states-should-fight-back/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>According to the far left-leaning news source, NBC News, illegal border crossings exceeded 2.7 million during the 2022 fiscal year. In their <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/migrant-border-crossings-fiscal-year-2022-topped-276-million-breaking-rcna53517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, they claim these waves of immigrants &#8220;were driven in part by increases in the number of Venezuelans, Cubans and Nicaraguans making the trek north.&#8221; Of course that trend continues today and many conservatives believe those numbers are, in reality, much, much higher.</p>
<p>U.S. Representative <strong>Carlos Gimenez</strong> (R-FL) sent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-rep-gimenez-migrant-traffic-moving-through-panama-heading-us-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video report</a> to Fox News showing &#8220;how migrants are moving to the U.S.-Mexico&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/07/open-borders-are-a-top-national-security-threat/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>In 2006, a super-majority of Congress passed the Secure Fence Act. It required that no less than 850 miles of double-layer fencing be constructed on our border. But it also codified a sense of purpose and a clearly defined mission for Border Patrol, to which everyone at the time agreed. It required the secretary of homeland security to “take all actions” necessary within 18 months of passage to “achieve and maintain operational control over <em>the entire international land and maritime borders</em> of the United States” (emphasis added).&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/heres-how-far-from-current-law-our-border-debate-has-shifted/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>So, here’s the Democrats’ plan: Flood America’s southern border with millions of illegal aliens, hook them on government aid and eventually turn them into voters. It can’t be more obvious anymore.</p>
<p>Use the courts to strike down any attempts to secure the border.  Have judges rule against election integrity laws like voter ID or even the commonsense question about citizenship in the 2020 national census. Once the census count is in, grant more congressional districts and federal funds to jurisdictions swelled with illegals.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/07/the-democrats-open-border-campaign-strategy/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<section id="article-body">No one can accuse Donald Trump of not being able to grab attention.
<p>He lobbed his latest political hand grenade, announcing that he is considering shipping off illegals who have been arriving in droves at the U.S.-Mexico border to sanctuary cities.</p>
<p>These are municipalities with ordinances directing local authorizes to not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement being carried out by Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.</p>
<p>States, cities and localities that have assumed sanctuary status are invariably Democratic and liberal strongholds.</p>&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/04/liberal-hypocrisy-about-sanctuary-cities/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></section>]]></description>

<p>To say the Left in America has gone off the rails is like saying the Super Bowl is a fairly popular football game.</p>
<p>It’s hard to keep up with the tsunami of cultural and economic insanity thundering through a thousand outlets every day, but here’s a try.  You thought Vermont’s Democratic Socialist U.S. Senator <strong>Bernie Sanders</strong> was radical?  Current Democratic leaders <em>start</em> with his views and go further left.</p>
<p>U.S. House Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> mocks the idea of securing America’s southern border as something only a bigot like President Trump would want.  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/02/the-lefts-growing-record-of-insanity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The American Left has so many people vying to be the Alternative Reality poster child that it may be difficult to pick a winner.</p>
<p>In recent weeks, we’ve seen a slew of entries:</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton recently praised an 11-year-old schoolgirl in Maryland who refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and “took a knee” like NFL players. “It takes courage to exercise your right to protest injustice, especially when you’re 11!&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/the-left-chases-alternative-reality/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
