Stephen Miller said that Governor J.B. Pritzker could be arrested for engaging in a “criminal conspiracy.”

When asked by Fox host Will Cain on Friday under what authority a governor could potentially be arrested, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff said that the Department of Justice “has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”

Miller’s statement comes after President Donald Trump claimed that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker should be “in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

On Oct. 23, the Illinois governor signed an executive order establishing the “Illinois Accountability Commission,” which will track “abuses” and hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “accountable” following the Department of Homeland Security’s launch of “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago.

        I thought they elected someone with a respectable degree that would have morals? Dr Acula is not a good leader?

      Lexington, KY has more than enough problems without him.

      For those that don’t know, Transylvania University is in Lexington, KY. The reason for this is that when the university was founded, the town was called The Transylvania Colony. Guess who settled there?

          Lol, more like (Dr.?) Frank N Furter, as portrayed by the fabulous Tim Curry, but yes. Romanians. Lexington, KY may as well be a colony of the people from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. Lexington remains the second highest per capita LGBTQ+ city in the US just behind San Francisco.

          Edit: also for those that don’t know, the suffix “vania” means “forest or woods” in Romanian.

          Therefore Pennsylvania means “Penn’s Forest,” and Transylvania means “across/through the woods.”

            “Silva” means forest in Latin. The name Transylvania(it’s written Transilvania in Romanian) is a Latin translation of the Hungarian name for the region. In Romanian the region is known as Ardeal.

            The “vania” suffix is not a thing that means “forest” In Romanian(source: me, a Romanian speaker).
