Context:

Protesters mistakenly gathered outside Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's mansion under the false belief that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was holding a press conference there. In reality, Noem's presser was taking place over half a mile away, focused on immigration issues and sanctuary city policies. During her press conference, Noem highlighted the case of Emma Shafer, who was murdered by an illegal immigrant, and was joined by other 'Angel families' affected by similar crimes. The protest was intended to disrupt Noem's event, but ended up being misdirected. Governor Pritzker responded by defending Illinois' sanctuary policies and criticizing the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement.

Dive Deeper:

• Protesters gathered at Governor JB Pritzker's mansion in Illinois, mistakenly thinking DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was holding a press conference there, intended to disrupt it.

• Noem's actual press conference was held over half a mile away from the governor’s mansion, focusing on immigration and criticizing sanctuary city policies.

• The presser highlighted the tragic case of Emma Shafer, murdered by Gabriel Calixto Pichardo, an illegal immigrant at large, and Noem was joined by 'Angel families' who have lost loved ones to crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

• The protestors' aim to disrupt Noem's event failed due to the location mix-up, leaving them 'screaming into the wind' without affecting the intended event.

• Governor Pritzker responded to the incident by defending Illinois' adherence to legal processes and accused the Trump administration of constitutional violations and inadequate safety measures.
