SEND IN THE TROOPS! At Least 5 Dead, 10 Wounded So Far in Chicago Weekend Shootings

Another wave of violence and murder swept through Chicago this weekend, with at least five dead by Sunday afternoon.

At least five murders and ten shooting-related injuries had been reported as of 2:08 pm ET.

Several teens as young as 15 years old were injured. One 19-year-old and one 16-year-old were transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Per CBS News:

At least five people have been killed and 10 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.

The ages of the victims range from 15 to 44.

In the first shooting of the weekend, a 32-year-old employee of a business in the South Loop got into an argument with a 31-year-old man in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.

This included at least two shooting incidents on Friday, starting at 9:30 pm local time, seven on Saturday, starting at approximately 1 am, and five on Sunday, starting shortly after midnight.

In nearly all cases, nobody was taken into custody.

This comes after 58 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, leaving eight dead.

The weekend before, at least six people were killed and 27 were injured, with victims as young as five years old, in shootings.

The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City, citing the violent crime crisis.

It was recently revealed that 200 or more Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago to carry out deportations. The National Guard may also be deployed as a deterrent to rioters and criminals.

President Trump pointed to the data from the last two weekends and shredded a reporter at the White House earlier, when asked why he was targeting Chicago with law enforcement actions.

"Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven," he said. "You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so."

BREAKING: 65 Years Later, Belgium Drags 93-Year-Old to Court Over Congo Assassination — But Guess Who Will Really Be Judged? AMERICA!

In a jaw-dropping move straight out of a leftist revenge fantasy, a Brussels court just ordered 93-year-old Étienne Davignon — a former European bigwig and junior Belgian diplomat back in 1960 — to stand trial for “war crimes” tied to the 1961 execution of Congo’s fiery Marxist prime minister, Patrice Lumumba.

The charges? Unlawful detention, transferring Lumumba to his doom in breakaway Katanga (where he was shot, chopped up, and dissolved in acid), and denying him a fair trial. No direct murder rap — just “indirect” involvement. The guy was basically a 27-year-old intern shuffling papers!

But here’s the real bombshell the mainstream media will scream about: The United States of America — under President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself — gave the explicit order to take Lumumba out!

Declassified docs and eyewitness testimony from NSC meetings confirm it: In August 1960, Ike straight-up said “Lumumba must be eliminated.” CIA Director Allen Dulles got the memo, wired station chief Larry Devlin that “the removal of Lumumba is an urgent priority,” and the agency even cooked up poisoned toothpaste to do the job (yes, really — Sidney Gottlieb’s poison plot).

Lumumba, a Castro fanboy and Soviet darling who wanted to turn Congo into Africa’s Cuba, was arming up with Russian planes and trucks. Washington saw a communist domino about to fall in the heart of Africa — and acted.

Belgians and CIA-backed Mobutu handled the dirty work on the ground, but the kill order came from the top in Washington. Eisenhower’s “green light” set the whole chain in motion.

Now, 65 years later, woke European courts are putting a frail nonagenarian on trial for “participation” in events the U.S. government deliberately triggered to stop a Soviet takeover. An American victory that the globalists have never come to terms with. Even 65 years later, America must be symbolically “defeated”!

This isn’t justice — it’s a show trial to punish anyone who stood against communism during the Cold War.

Lumumba’s elimination probably saved millions from a Soviet satellite state armed to the teeth. But today’s globalist elites would rather prosecute grandpas than admit the West won that round for a reason.

What do you think, America? Should we apologize for stopping an African Cuba… or celebrate the men who kept the Reds out?

Share if you’re sick of historical revisionism! 🇺🇸💥

TRUMP TO ICE: ‘GET READY’ — Agents to Take Over Airport Security on Monday if Democrats Won’t Fund DHS

Published

Donald Trump speaking at a podium with the presidential seal, wearing a USA hat, flanked by American flags.

President Donald Trump has announced that he has directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to prepare to step in and handle airport security starting Monday if Congressional Democrats continue blocking full funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

The announcement comes after Trump’s warning earlier in the day that he would surge ICE agents to airports amid the ongoing partial DHS shutdown, which has caused unpaid TSA workers and travel chaos during spring break.

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have repeatedly blocked full funding bills, demanding major reforms and restrictions on ICE operations in exchange for approval.

In a Truth Social post Saturday afternoon, Trump stated:

The Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace. If the Democrats do not allow for Just and Proper Security at our Airports, and elsewhere throughout our Country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before!

The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will. Just like the Radical Left allowed millions of Criminals to pour into our Country through their ridiculous and dangerous Open Border Policy, the Republicans closed it all down, and we now have the Strongest Border in American History. Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, “GET READY.” NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Republicans continue to pressure Democrats to pass clean DHS funding without additional restrictions on immigration enforcement.

Nearly 400 TSA agents have already quit their jobs.

Hours earlier, on Saturday morning, Trump had issued the initial warning, writing:

If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Schumer had not responded to Trump’s posts at the time of publishing.

The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on the shutdown negotiations as they develop.
