What His Revolting Rotundness is basically saying is that if he can't get you now, he's going to get you later.
You see [CUE dramatic music: DUM DUM DUMDUM]
'Trump won't always be president.'
So the governor of Illinois wants to be the first to get his threats to federal law enforcement officers - for finally being able to do their jobs enforcing the law - out in the open and on the table now.
Manly stuff here, and I want you all to have a chance to parse every word.
JB Pritzker is now threatening to prosecute ICE agents under the next Democrat president and says he’s trying to find ways to do it now in Illinois.

“The tables will turn someday.”
This will be an official policy position of the 2028 Democrats without a doubt. Communist thugs. pic.twitter.com/C5335WT5r2
PRITZKER: The tables will turn someday. These people should recognize that maybe they're not going to get prosecuted today, although we're looking at doing that. But they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations won't have run.
This man couldn't be uglier.
PRITZKER: You know, we had the immigration services, the ICE and CBP doing their jobs before the Trump administration, but they were doing it within the law. Now they're acting like a bunch of thugs and taking away people's free speech rights. They're taking away people's rights by, you know, not identifying themselves. They're coming in with masks on.
Well, you know, big boy, no, we actually didn't have 'the ICE and CBP doing their jobs' before the Trump administration. If we did, we wouldn't have had millions of illegals pouring across our Southern border, let alone the ones the administration paved the way for with their amnesty schemes.
Joe Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris have let 8 MILLION illegal immigrants and staggering amounts of deadly fentanyl pour across our southern border since taking office.

Now the media is trying to completely re-write history, but Americans know the truth—and won't forget it.
And at any time ICE or the CBP attempted to regain a tiny modicum of control at any point, they were demonized as 'thugs' and - oh, lookee here - THREATENED by elected Democrat goons like the sitting President and Vice-President, and some were initially singled out for disciplinary action by the Border Patrol.
...Separately, CBP initiated a Discipline Review Board to consider the individual conduct of certain Border Patrol Agents involved in this incident and has proposed disciplinary action for four agents consistent with CBP policy. The disciplinary process follows, but is distinct from, the fact-finding investigation and is conducted by a Discipline Review Board that is comprised of senior leaders appointed from across CBP and is independent of the Office of Professional Responsibility. That process is underway. The results of the discipline process will be made public following its completion, in a manner which protects the integrity of the process and the legal rights of those involved. In addition, CBP is conducting a review of its current disciplinary process and will make reforms as needed to ensure transparency, consistency, and accountability.
The event under investigation occurred during an unprecedented surge in migration in one location by the international bridge in Del Rio on September 19, 2021. Over the course of several days, U.S. Border Patrol Agents processed, screened, and vetted more than 30,000 migrants by the international bridge. Agents worked with officials from other federal agencies and non-profit organizations to provide food, hygiene supplies, COVID-19 testing, and medical care to address the humanitarian needs of those attempting to migrate, many of whom included families with young children. The Border Patrol faced extraordinary challenges in responding to the larger situation in Del Rio.
Until all hell broke loose over the outrageous defamation, when even the photographer who took the initial photograph that started it all admitted they were reins flying in the air, not whips.
At long last, Mayorkas admits that the alleged whipping of migrants by horseback Border Patrol agents did not occur. Where do these agents go to get their reputations back and have they called Nick Sandmann’s lawyer yet? pic.twitter.com/tHwuYY8FAz

Who would want this job with these people in charge?
It’s just you. Pushing a completely false, debunked narrative after a lengthy investigation. Debunked even by the photographer who took these photos. Those are split reins used to control the horse. Nobody was whipped. https://t.co/fELAiX2vvW

The next line in his little fireside chat needs a comb run through the greasiness, too.
PRITZKER: They're coming in with unidentified vehicles.
This is kind of a strange bone to pick with federal officers because Pritzker's own Illinois police officers and State Troopers are authorized to do this very thing. And check this out - they might NOT even be wearing a uniform, and it's all completely legal IN PRITZKER'S ILLINOIS.
...“Unmarked police cars can pull people over,” Illinois Legal Aid Online Deputy Director Gwen Daniels said in a July 2 interview with the News-Democrat.
An unmarked police car may have portable emergency warning lights, Daniels continued, which differ from the typical marked police cars, as well as semi-marked vehicles, which may have lights mounted within the car but don’t have the paint scheme of a traditional cruiser.
...Illinois State Police Trooper Josh Robinson also confirmed to the BND that unmarked police cars can lawfully make a traffic stop.
“An unmarked police vehicle will have both red and blue emergency lighting, although it may not be visible on the exterior of the vehicle until activated,” Robinson wrote in a July 8 email. “The officer, even undercover, will have visible markings or identification showing they are law enforcement. The officer will also show proper identification when asked. Drivers can also call 911 or a dispatch business line and verify the traffic stop is legitimate and they are being pulled over by a lawful officer.”
Robinson said officers driving unmarked police vehicles may sometimes be in uniform, but not always.
The big blowhard is the prototypical progressive loudmouth bully. It's all they've got.
PRITZKER: These are all things that need to be taken up again by an inspector general or somebody investigating at the federal level because they have immunity at the state level. But we're looking at how we might be able to hold them responsible despite the fact of federal immunity.
All this blustering and bloviating, inflammatory name-calling and threats. In the meantime, during airtime for worthless chief executives like Pritzker, their cities and states continue falling to rack and ruin while they blithely endanger public servants engaged in legal law enforcement activities - continually found to be legal through repeated court cases - which annoy their progressive sensibilities.
The same progressive sensibilities that are ruining their states and the cities within.
WHY IS HE SO MAD AT DONALD TRUMP FOR TRYING TO KEEP CHICAGO SAFE
JB Pritzker’s first two terms have been a complete disaster. He’s put illegal immigrants ahead of Illinois families, raised taxes, sided with criminals instead of citizens, and forced through the largest, most bloated budget in state history. pic.twitter.com/DZ1TqxeLP6

Snek meets tail.
Or, it would meet the tail if it weren't already too bulbous a lard-laden body to make it around.
Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
