I applaud the Trump administration’s decision to launch Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens. This Homeland Security operation will send a strong message to illegal aliens that no “sanctuary jurisdiction” can protect them from arrest and deportation. After weeks of anticipation about immigration enforcement action, Operation Midway Blitz was…
If you have not been paying attention, please do so now. In the state of Illinois, Democrat Governor JB Pritzker has signed a new law that would allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded student financial aid.

I saw anxious eyes, witnessed expression of joy, and heard words of determination at various Lincoln Day events and Republican Party caucuses in 2019. There are many challenges ahead for conservatives, but the grassroots energy is growing….
