The SAFE-T Act:
❌ Abolishes cash bail for almost every offense.
❌ Individuals on electronic monitoring must be in violation for 48 hours before law enforcement can act.
❌ Prohibits officers from removing trespassers from your residence or business.

Last night the Orland Park Village Board voted unanimously to oppose the Cook County vaccine passport mandate. The village trustees and I strongly believe in our representative form of government.

I asked Toni Preckwinkle for data supporting her vaccine mandate. They sent over a case study of COVID cases in 3 gyms in June & July of 2020 in Hawaii. . . I wish I was joking. Somehow, 3 gyms on an island, before the vaccine justifies a vaccine mandate here in Cook Co. in 22.

I asked
@LoriLightfoot
for data supporting her new vaccine mandate. Unsurprisingly, I received no response. If Lightfoot wants to put restrictions on already struggling small businesses, she should make her case publicly and put it up for a vote.

Last night several residents demanded that the board pass a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Orland Park has no influence on foreign policy
The speakers were not interested in civil discourse and shouted me down. This is not an American value.

Someone could decide to live in your shed, & all law enforcement could do is give them a ticket. The SAFE-T Act is a massive threat to residents of Orland Park, Cook County, and Illinois. The legislature passed it, Pritzker signed it, & Casten has been silent. Vote accordingly.

IYMI - Governor Pritzker just issued another Executive Order to extend his COVID powers.
WHEN will the IL General Assembly do their job and hold him accountable? In theory, we don't live in a dictatorship and should no allow him to act like one.

The governor blocked restoring LGDF to your towns because "IL can't afford it". Towns like Harvey, & Matteson lose ~ $2M a year.
Our tax dollars are spent on migrants by an out of touch governor whose personal spending is more than most IL towns.
49
154
471
Pritzker & Preckwinkle believe that as long as COVID exists they can bypass the Constitution, force businesses to enforce their ridiculous vaccine mandate, and dictate priorities for law enforcement. I'm standing up and pushing back because the ruling by executive fiat must end!

This is what happens when you combine the highest gas tax in the Midwest with an administration that doesn't value energy independence. It's time for a change on both fronts, so we can lessen the financial burden on Illinois families.

If a vaccine mandate is going to be passed and enforced, it should be passed by law. It should be done by the legislative body, and additionally, it should be supported by data and facts. Cook County government is just playing politics.

Proud to attend and hear Governor DeSantis speak calmly and positively about supporting our police.
It was a welcome change to hear about common sense solutions that he has implemented in FL
The results speak for themselves. The country needs more of this type of leasership.

While Ron DeSantis calmly speaks about supporting the police and keeping us safe, Sean Casten becomes unhinged.
Instead of name calling, maybe Casten can tell us why he voted against banning fentanyl, supports open borders and supports the Safe T Act.
40
65

Sean Casten supports anti-police, anti-public safety measures like the SAFE-T Act. He called people who oppose it “racists.” It tells you everything you need to know about how little he cares about your life and safety.

Orland Park kept parks open, business open, held concerts and kept baseball and soccer fields open. Followed the data and Constitution! Turns out we were right!

Far-left politicians like Casten, Foxx, Lightfoot & Pritzker actively undermine public trust in the justice system & push "solutions" (like the SAFE-T Act) that empower criminals & handcuff LEOs. As your Congressman I'll push back against the far left & keep our communities safe.

Last year, Chicago reported the highest number of homicides in 25 yrs. Conversely, Orland Park was named the safest city in IL. Leadership that supports law enforcement makes a difference. It's critical that we elect officials that will keep families safe & neighborhoods secure.
11
30
220
Lightfoot proudly raised her hand & declared Chicago a "sanctuary city" but when migrants show up, she buses them to the suburbs. . . She talks a big game but passes the buck when things get tough. We must secure the border, treat migrants humanely, & keep our communities safe.
15
52
219
For this reason, rather than “turning a blind eye” or holding closed door discussions, we established our policy in a public meeting. In my opinion, this is the correct way to establish policy and a stark contrast to edicts from one person or from non-elected administrators.

NOW even Democratic candidates are not safe from voter fraud unless they are endorsed by Preckwinkle, Johnson and Pritzger.
They learned from Putin and all of the other world's dictators that hold "free elections".

214
Public safety shouldn't be a partisan issue. Unfortunately, far-left politicians hell-bent on defunding the police have made it so. As your congressman, I'll make sure that law enforcement has the training/resources necessary to keep our communities safe.
18
51
197
The SAFE-T Act is just one piece of legislation, but it's part of a nationwide trend among far-left politicians like Sean Casten. For them, it's one more way to demoralize and defund law enforcement.

The Foxx-Lightfoot soft-on-crime policies have made Cook County a more dangerous place. Instead of learning from their mistakes far-left politicians in Springfield & want to emulate them. This Nov, we'll send a message to those who wish to demean/defund cops- not on our watch.

The Governor’s proposed budget cuts muncipal funding yet again. Now the shortfall will reach $10.5M in Orland Park. Covering this requires massive cuts or a 78% property tax increase.
JB will not be happy until IL and all its towns are bankrupt.

I'm running to represent the forgotten men & women of IL-06 - firefighters, law enforcement, city workers, & the middle class folks who have been ignored by Casten & negatively impacted by his far-left agenda. I'll put people over politics in D.C. & make Washington work for us!

Packed house in Glen Ellyn last night as we rallied IL-06 voters. Folks are riled up and ready for a change in D.C. They want a government that works and that puts people over politics. Together we can put an end to the far-left agendas and prioritization of special interests.

Do you realize that 8.2% inflation is equivalent to one month's salary lost?
On top of this, Sean Casten & Joe Biden are hiring 87,000 new IRS Agents to harass you over your tax return.
I am running for Congress to end this assault on you & the future you are trying to build!

Inflation is up 11.54% in the Chicagoland Region since Joe Biden took office. Families across the 6th District are struggling to make ends meet. Casten & Biden spent yesterday celebrating on the WH lawn with all their far-left friends. This Nov, let's send them a reality check!

Pritzker, Lightfoot, Foxx, & Casten actively undermine public trust in the justice system w/ divisive rhetoric & push "solutions" (SAFE-T Act) that empower criminals/handcuff LEOs. As your congressman, I'll ensure they have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.

Two observations from the comments here. First, it is apparent many didn't listen to what I said and are repeating a headline written in another article - I told nobody to move back. Second, the overwhelming majority of Arab Americans are white, same race as me.

“Inflation is 0%...” - Sean Casten
“Inflation is a good thing…” Sean Casten
“We have to change the subject on inflation..” - Nancy Pelosi
When Joe Biden took office, inflation was at 1.4%. Today, inflation is at 8.2%.

LEOs & 100/102 States Attorneys say the SAFE-T Act is bad legislation that will make our communities less safe. Casten says that it is "necessary reform" & that those who oppose it are racists. Casten is wrong & LEOs & SAs are right. I'll stand w/ LEOS & keep our communities safe

Far-Left politicians try to avoid the consequences of their policies
- Declare Chicago a sanctuary city ➡️ relocate migrants to suburbs (Lightfoot)
- Defund police ➡️ increase their own private security (Foxx)
- Demand you give up your gas car ➡️ fly on gas-guzzling jets (Casten)

The rest of the country needs to beware of the dangerous path on which leftist politicians like Casten and Governor J.B. Pritzker have put us. It’s time we get serious about crime in our country.

The IL House of Representatives passed HB 5188 which MANDATES "comprehensive sex ed" be taught and ELIMINATES the local control of your school board. Most of us find some of the requirements (particularly to K-5) appalling.

The IL Supreme Court puts SAFE T ACT on hold for entire state!

Once again it shows that those of us opposed were not making up the issues we had with this awful law.

The last board meeting was interrupted by several protestors. We were still able to address several important issues. Regardless of these attacks, Orland Park continues to do well and the board will remained focus on moving the village forward.

Whether it’s supporting the unsafe SAFE-T Act, the “Anti-Inflation” bill that raised the cost of living, or sticking with the furthest on the Left to oppose recognizing the efforts of our border patrol agents, Sean Casten never misses an opportunity to play politics.

The media is turning a blind eye to a deadly problem in America - in small towns and big cities. As we speak violent criminals are roaming free, thanks to these far-left policies. In the state of Illinois, it's about to get a lot worse.

We didn't earn the title of the safest small city in IL by accident. Leadership that supports law enforcement makes a difference. Elected officials at every level of govt are looking for new ways to undermine law enforcement (and make our communities less safe).

Either Sean Casten’s mob or one of his supporters stole 16 large signs for my campaign from private property in Orland Park. The value of these signs makes it well over the threshold for felony theft, though we know we will never get those charges from Kim Foxx.

Today, I received 3 state mandated letters from children in Driver's Ed, complaining about roads and demanding they be fixed.
Rather than education, IL democratic party goals are clear - turn children into activists.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris promised that, if elected, they would end the pandemic.

The difference between myself & Casten couldn't be more clear. I'll stop reckless spending, get our economy working, & put people over politics. And I definitely won't conspire with Pelosi to pad my pocket.

Green energy hypocrites like Sean Casten jet across the world to "save the planet" & want you to trade your sedan for a Tesla.

The chaos & anti-police violence isn’t contained to the city. It’s bleeding into Chicago’s suburbs, thanks to Lightfoot, Foxx & Casten’s “restorative justice” policies.
