Breaking(ish): Chicago on the verge of declaring victory in Battle of Chicago

CBP Oberführer Greg Bovino is said to be leaving town and bringing his stormtrooper cosplayer platoon with him

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Border Patrol Chief (aka Oberführer) Gregory Bovino and his platoon of stormtroopers are planning to leave Chicago, possibly within days.

It may be a little early to declare victory, but today is Veterans Day, which was originally celebrated as Armistice Day in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War I on November 11, 1918 (which is why we don’t do mobile Monday holidays).

It would be even more fitting if today were VE Day, marking the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in Europe, but this will do. Today, I’m honoring our veterans by acknowledging the protesters who have been standing up against fascism in Chicago.

Bovino has faced stiff resistance in Chicago since his arrival. Allied forces¹ have organized neighborhoods by implementing tactics like distributing whistles used by citizens to alert others that stormtroopers are in the area. The tactics are said to have had a huge impact on the ability of the Oberführer’s poorly trained and out-of-shape cosplayers dressed in special forces outfits to abduct citizens.

So, Bovino is pulling out, according to three sources who spoke to the Tribune.²

Those sources are telling the Tribune that Bovino will be moving on to a new assignment, which means Allied forces will need to help communicate how the whistle program and other abduction mitigation efforts worked to the next city the lunatics invade.

It also means that Bovino could be coming soon to your city. Chief goon Kristi Noem is mum on her plans for the next assault.

Protests work. If Bovino and his poorly trained goons come for your city or town next, whistle up and resist.

Here are a few previous Ruminato articles that have been tracking ICE activities in Chicago and elsewhere.
