Gov. JB Pritzker made an appearance in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood on Halloween Friday to hand out candy to costumed kids. In a bid to allay fears trick-or-treating children might have about ICE agents in their neighborhoods, Pritzker this week asked U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to stop immigration enforcement operations for a three-day stretch during the Halloween weekend.
Noem’s answer? A flat no. “We’re absolutely not willing to put on pause any work that we will do to keep communities safe,” Noem said Thursday. Pritzker responded on social media, “...what is truly shameful is that she refuses to agree that we shouldn’t tear-gas children trick-or-treating.”
