Border Patrol and ICE agents were protecting and serving our country in the South Side of Chicago when they were suddenly attacked and rammed by vehicles.

Within moments, they were boxed in by ten cars and surrounded by a violent mob of anti-ICE lunatics.

And when they called for help… Reports indicate that Chicago Police were ordered NOT to respond.

Imagine being one of our brave Border Patrol or ICE agents, under violent attack from rioters.

You call for help – and no one comes.

Then you learn that top city officials ordered their officers to abandon you.

Let that sink in.

These are the men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to protect this country – who face danger, violence, and chaos so our communities can stay safe.

And when they needed help the most, they were left to fend for themselves.

All because of politics. All because the Democrats decided that illegal immigrants should be able to live in America on YOUR dime.

Our law enforcement officers – our heroes – are being abandoned in their moment of need, not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because the Radical Left has declared war on anyone who enforces the law.

This is the level of derangement we’re dealing with.

The National Fraternal Order of Police said it best: “When an officer calls for assistance, you answer. No matter what.”

But Illinois Liberals like Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson have made their stance on ICE and Border Patrol crystal clear.

They would rather leave officers and innocent people in danger than lift a finger to help those who protect our borders.

It's a complete and utter betrayal. 

That’s why House Republicans are launching our Back the Badge Pledge.

Add your name today and be listed as a true Patriot who stands for the rule of law, supports our heroes in uniform, and defends the borders of our country.

Thank you for standing with America’s law enforcement,

House Republicans
