The incident began when a suspect ran an ICE agent off the road, leading to a call for help. However, the dispatcher instructed all units to &#8220;clear out&#8221; and not respond, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;re not going over there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jody Weis, former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department and retired FBI special agent in charge, expressed shock at the delayed response. &#8220;Law enforcement agents call for help, and the Chicago Police Department didn&#8217;t respond to that immediately. Now, to be fair, they did respond. One hour and ten minutes later,&#8221; Weis said. He criticized the decision to delay assistance, especially given the potential threat from protesters and demonstrators.<\/p>\n<p>The situation has drawn criticism from the Department of Homeland Security, which has slammed Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for creating &#8220;ICE-free zones.&#8221; Weis described the mayor&#8217;s actions as &#8220;a joke&#8221; and expressed concern over the city&#8217;s current state.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate issue, Weis commented on a report revealing that the FBI, under President Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/thenationaldesk.com\/news\/americas-news-now\/fbi-surveillance-of-gop-lawmakers-sparks-outrage-and-calls-for-accountability-republicans-jack-smith-biden-administration-mar-a-lago-trump-phone-records-kash-patel-dan-bongino-schumer-democrats#\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/thenationaldesk.com\/news\/americas-news-now\/fbi-surveillance-of-gop-lawmakers-sparks-outrage-and-calls-for-accountability-republicans-jack-smith-biden-administration-mar-a-lago-trump-phone-records-kash-patel-dan-bongino-schumer-democrats#\" class=\"themeColorForLinks\" rel=\"noopener\">spied on eight Republican senators and one GOP congressman. <\/a>The investigation, known as Arctic Frost, involved collecting phone data, including call durations and locations. Weis called the report &#8220;totally outrageous&#8221; and indicative of the &#8220;weaponization of the federal law enforcement agencies under the Biden administration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The FBI has also recently severed ties with left-wing activist groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. Weis noted that these groups, once valuable sources of intelligence on hate and extremist groups, have &#8220;lost their way&#8221; by focusing on right-wing organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 A recent dispatch call in Chicago has raised concerns after a federal agent&#8217;s request for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":284157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[20174,960,5464,2398,12783,6285,5410,5386,1818,146432,146433],"class_list":{"0":"post-284156","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-brandon-johnson","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-police","11":"tag-department-of-homeland-security","12":"tag-fbi","13":"tag-federal-agent","14":"tag-ice","15":"tag-il","16":"tag-illinois","17":"tag-jody-weis","18":"tag-weaponization"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115333398862314085","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
