EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Immigrant Fatally Shot By ICE Agent Received Deportation Waiver Under Biden | Eastern NC Now

    The illegal immigrant shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Chicago last week was previously given a second chance of staying in the United States by the Biden administration, which granted him a deportation waiver despite a past arrest, federal law enforcement sources told The Daily Wire.

    The Biden administration granted Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez reprieve despite his 2013 arrest by the Chicago Police Department for reckless driving, assault, speeding, and lacking a license and insurance, the sources said.

    Villegas-Gonzalez struck the ICE agent with his vehicle on Friday while the feds were conducting an operation at Franklin Park.

    The suspect was asked to stop his vehicle, but continued driving, hitting the agent and "subsequently dragging him as he fled the scene," an ICE spokesman told NBC 5 Chicago.

    "Fearing for his life," the agent shot the driver.

    The ICE agent sustained severe injuries, but remained in stable condition after being dragged "a significant distance," said Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

    Former assistant ICE chief for New York Scott Mechkowski told The Daily Wire that Villegas-Gonzalez should've been deported more than a decade ago.

    "The ICE agent's split second decision to shoot saved his own life and possibly other lives when Villegas-Gonzalez floored it, dragging him. It was pure self-defense against a man who'd been shielded for years by Chicago's insane sanctuary policies letting a 2013 assault suspect roam free," said Mechkowski.

    "Sanctuary cities don't protect innocent people, they shield killers in waiting, and when enforcement finally fights back like our agents did, it's the only thing standing between us and blood on the streets. He should have been removed in 2013," Mechkowski added.

    The agent and suspect were taken to a hospital before Villegas-Gonzalez was pronounced dead.

    President Donald Trump commenced "Operation Midway Blitz" last week, flooding the Windy City with feds to "target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets."

    Anti-ICE activists have flocked to the streets of Chicago in response to the effort. Federal agents forcibly removed some of the protesters who staged a recent sit-in at an ICE facility on Friday, ABC 7 Chicago reported.

    Trump has also vowed to send in the National Guard to support ICE's efforts in Chicago, drawing backlash from Democratic leaders in the sanctuary city.


    The president and Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker have sparred since the effort began.

    "It's disturbing that the President is hellbent on sending troops onto America's streets. Using those who serve in uniform as political props is insulting. None of this is normal," Pritzker wrote on X Friday.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
