Border Czar Tom Homan demands apology from Illinois governor for spreading grade school ICE raid hoax
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] President Trump's border czar Tom Homan demanded an apology from Illinois governor JB Pritzker and reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Public School CEO Pedro Martinez, after they made false claims that ICE agents showed up at a school to detain undocumented Democrat children.

After Martinez made the false claim about the ICE agents, Governor Pritzker posted to X: ''After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school. Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American.''

The claimed ICE agents, however, were members of US Secret Service who were there to investigate an unrelated matter involving threats made on TikTok. ICE agents were never at the school.

In response, Homan demanded an apology from Pritzker and said that Martinez lied about the incident: ''Pedro Martinez lied. He lied to the city of Chicago. He knew they were secret service agents, because I talked to people involved. They left their credentials. He knew exactly who was there. So he lied. Again, sowing fear in the immigrant community.

''Governor Pritzker, rather than calling ICE and asking 'did this happen,' he goes on social media and terrifies elementary schools [saying] ICE agents are walking in there. He accuses me of terrifying the community—no, he terrified the community, he terrified the children,'' Homan continued.

#6 Even if he doesn’t get an apology, illeagle, the mainstream media have reported, with frissons of shock at the undignified lack of diplomacy, that he demanded it for the lie.
