No, You Cannot!' Kristi Noem Denied Bathroom Access at Illinois Government Building

"In a video posted on X by conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Noem said she was in the Chicago area to do some operations to pick up some guys with criminal convictions when she was denied access to the federal building by city police. A voice can be heard telling Noem and her colleagues, No, you cannot! after they asked to use the restroom."

"As much as these local leaders and governors talk about cooperating and having the backs of our law enforcement officers, this is what we have to put up with every single day, she said. And all we're doing is getting criminals, and terrorists, and cartels, and gang members off the streets. In a subsequent post on X, Noem wrote that this is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement and that their behavior is absolutely shameful."

"In early September, under the authority of President Donald Trump, ICE and DHS launched Operation Midway Blitz,' a federal immigration enforcement campaign by targeting so-called criminal illegal aliens across Chicago and Illinois. In addition, just last week, Trump began to send federalized troops to the Windy City. Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) continued to strongly denounce both operations, accusing the Trump administration of overstepping authority and demanding on Friday that Noem be held publicly accountable."

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was barred from entering the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois to use the restroom during a federal operation in the Chicago area. A video posted on X by Benny Johnson shows Noem saying she was in Chicago to pick up men with criminal convictions and that city police denied access. A voice can be heard saying No, you cannot after they asked to use the restroom. Noem said the incident reflects what officers face in Democrat-led cities and criticized Governor JB Pritzker and Broadview officials, noting the village receives at least $1 million in federal funding. The incident coincided with Operation Midway Blitz and the recent deployment of federalized troops to Chicago; Governor Pritzker denounced the operations and demanded accountability.
