Amundsen Park neighborhood residents discusses fieldhouse not being used as Chicago migrant shelter 

Vote out that traitor

Well explained! If money can be found for the immigrants then they can be found for Chicago homeless. Glad the residents are being heard.

Citizens of this country should NOT BE DISPLACED because migrants walked across our border.

Why are all of these people thanking the government for giving back their park when it shouldn't have been taken away in the first place?

It's a damn shame when you are home minding your own business when illegal criminal trespassers decide to invade your country and your life is turned upside down. It's madden to think one can be home in their own country and the world is allowed to walk across the border and affect your life, neighborhood, taxes, prices and quality of life. Unfair to all Americans who have been forced into sponsorship of illegal trespassers.

Thank God. Stand up for your rights

It's about time us black people stand up to this illegal immigration shit. I'm so proud of you guys.

I do not live in Chicago but i will say it is nice to see a community come together and fight together . I am glad to hear u gave your park back and the children and elderly have u all standing up. Bravo. Keep it up. Proud of u

He still needs to be voted out ASAP. Regardless of what happens from here on out. This is an elected official that had the audacity to tell you what he was going to do despite what the citizens of Chicago said. Maybe not as a whole but if only in part… he did too much. His deputy Mayor for immigration had a matching attitude to his. Nasty. Do not forget this. I’m speaking as a fellow Chicago voting resident. DO NOT vote him back in. That attitude he has is going to be a problem. The moment he thought it was okay to take that type of tone and attitude, he needed to go. Don’t let these politicians think that they can pacify you after forgetting he is an ELECTED official. If you want these politicians to take you seriously. Make them know that their words and actions have consequences.

Good job Black Chicago!! Now make sure you vote the Mayor and those City Counsil people OUT!!

That lady at the end spoke for 99% of Black Americans. We are tired of the Democrats. 😮😢

Descendants of American slaves all over America are watching this case. You are setting a good example. You are the Repairers of the breached. We see your love for Chicago. Keep serving and advocating for your community and your state. Prayers are going up for you All. Keep doing ministry and Missionary work in your community. Youth and seniors are the most vulnerable populations.

I'm so Proud of my Black Elderly family!!

They have $40 mil a month to spend on illegal immigrants. Yet they can not do anything about rampant crime in Chicago. One speaker also made a good point about churches organizing to take in migrants. Where were they in helping homeless citizens in Chicago?

I am so glad they spoke about the violence that scares them. They deserve better than just silence and ignoring.

I’m proud of all my Black Peoples of Chicago and please stay on code. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Chicago is FINALLY waking up,time to make the correct choice!!!

Man stop making excuses for these politicians

Foundational black Americans, you are a special people, an exceptional people. Thank you Dr. Anderson. Never forget these offenses and grievances. No tangibles no vote and we mean it this time. No more black faces in high places wearing their tap shoes. 💪🏾🖤💃🏾 when we Fight, we Win!!! B1

I’m a Mexican-American woman, I take my hat off to this beautiful group that stood their ground and fought for their rights! I too, believe paying tax citizens come first. Love you !!!

Stand your ground. Way to go !!

Yes. The mayor needs to put this promise in writing. Yes, Mr. Mayor get it straight. The tax paying citizens have had enough of being left behind. God bless all of them for standing up to you. Merry Christmas to all.

I am so proud of them for standing together

Well done family. Respect for protecting your community and fighting for the services you pay for and entitled to. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

YEESSSS! Don’t let your guards down, that how the enemy works

Respect for the Chicago residents who care about their community and invest in making it better. Unfortunately, the illegals have been exploited by Biden and cartels.

I saw those poor old residents in the building with no heat… my heart was breaking for them.

So proud of you, Chicago! Stand up for yourself! Glad yout voice is being heard! Thank God - for this prophetess speaking up!

Good for you for standing up for your community!

You know Brandon Johnson does not like the tone of this press conference. I bet he and his staff are rolling their eyes and cursing these people for having the nerve to stand up and say they want and expect more, and that they want better treatment still. These people, as do the people on the south side and other west side locations, want to be treated with dignity and respect. He's neither prepared to do nor interested in that. He is more interested in treating "migrants" with dignity and respect at the expense of Black Chicago. That is the problem. Harold Washington never advocated for that. They need to stop lying on his name.

I agree 100 percent with the lady at the very end! Say it again lady! God bless all these people who are waking up! ✝️✝️✝️

We must vote smarter! I'm glad they came together and protected their neighborhood.

I am an African- American Chicagoan living in California. I'm so proud of the Black citizens of Chicago for standing up and standing against this great injustice. Doing more for migrants than the African American community. It's reprehensible and wrong. This is not going to end well for Chicago. I read in the Chicago Tribune that some Venezuelan migrants have already been involved in criminal activity. That's your thanks for all the handouts and millions will be billions spent. Help the migrants but help the citizens too. Shame on you Chicago. Our great city deserves better than this. Thanks to all media outlets for giving the African American community the right to be heard. ♥️🙏🏾🕊️

Not on our backs! Well said! ❤

So proud of you guys! Keep standing up for what is right!

Glad to see Austin residents stand up for their community. The mayor should be held accountable and not ignore the Chicago communities they come first ! I live in the Austin neighborhood and these residents made me proud !

Chicago stand up. Waiting on nyc to stand up. Please protect these people. Especially the last lady who spoke she hit it on the nail. We are watching you. Period

Vote red to save Chicago

This is true community leadership at its finest. Much to learn from the Amundsen Park community.

@17:29-17:56:"Paid security for a closed park that no one was using." Sounds like the Chicago Democratic way! I certainly hope these fine people remember how they were/are being treated come local and national election day!

This is the most composed and well spoken group I’ve seen. Congratulations

Nothing like community's coming together.

Proof that when communities work together voices are strong , loud and heard!!! Thanks for showing us how to make stuff happen!

I love seeing these beautiful black folks stand up for themselves. Absolutely love it Chicago folks ❤. All of you articulated yourselves respectfully and got straight to the point. Way to go!

Way to Go Chicago

Just don't forget what is going on right now when it comes to voting time! Just because you are black does not mean that you HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!! Things change! People change! And Politics Change! Vote for the Best Person and not based on COLOR!!!! Cause you see what that has got you! Btw, I'm African American! As deejay duly noted: Vote for the person who has the best policy; and who also have yours, and your community's best interest in mind.

No more "Vote Blue No Matter Who".

We appreciate The Media. 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿

Well said!! I’m proud of the people in Chicago thank you for speaking and care for are comunidad God blessed American 🇺🇸 Put American people first

This is a valuable lesson in civics for youth especially. If only it could work in dealing with the internal problems within our communities as opposed to an external one.

Y'all better stay together. Don't let snakes come in to break up your alliance and distract you. Stick together.

Absolutely applaud your community for sticking together to he heard!! 🙏 ing for a great turnaround on your behalf! NYC watching also ✌✊💜!

Thank you Black Chicago for your courage, strength, hard work, and voices ❤️❤️❤️. Most High bless you all 👑🦁⚔️.

My parents never taught me to treat any people of color bad. We were taught respect all life there is good and bad in all. Actually we all should stick together and not let the rich people divide us for their greedy need of money and power over us. Funny thing they would not be rich if it was not for the poor. God bless! ❤️🇺🇸😇⚘️😇🇺🇸❤️

Good for this community coming together to to get the respect they need

Black Americans in Chicago area needs to seriously make the male mayor of Chicago city area, a one term mayor of Chicago city area.

👏👏 good for all of you - well done. Next, that clown mayor needs to be recalled! Don't stop now and remember FJB! Ticked off in the Chicago burbs

"NOT ON OUR BACKS". RESPECT!

The mayor keeps making the point: “Years of disinvestment in the community causes the problems of crime.” Taking churches, parks, and public spaces from those same communities is a disinvestment in their opportunities. It is so backwards.

Great job to these community-minded brothers and sisters. You have my support all the way from Georgia! Keep up the fight to save your community!

This is good but it's still not over stay up .💯

I like these folks. I would swap them for the fancy elected officials any day.

Chicago citizens. The world is watching, and we are truly inspired. God bless you. Keeping taking care of those who are contributing to the community.

Thanks to this community for coming together like they did.

I hope that Chicago doesn’t forget. This is what happens when we stick together UNITED and stand up! This is what happened in the 1960’s but when we got a few wins was able to move a little freer in some aspects in society then we got lacked and stopped fighting. Mrs. Truss should run for office she has the right idea our votes should be for something not just for a party who gave us a few wins in the 60s this we have become to our detriment loyal to a fault to a party, which no longer serves us!Believe you me these churches, these pastors are getting.💰 just like they did after hurricane Katrina and all those people were displaced all over the United States. These churches got.💰. If they were doing it out of the goodness of their heart, we wouldn’t have any homeless on the street we wouldn’t have any that are disadvantaged in our communities. Continue to fight along with the other black communities who are fighting against this in their communities. Fight to put policies and laws in place laws to be able to vote out politicians and where your city is not a sanctuary city any longer just as Governor Abbott has done. Biden opened arms and welcomed all illegal immigration’s to come And just like the elderly man said at a town hall stop listening and believing these politicians because they all lie even those that look like us. Look at what happens when you tell the truth Mayor Adams in New York. The Democratic Party is showing their roots by bringing this man out front and center and given him a lashing before the entire United States for being truthful, and representing his people that he was elected to represent. Mrs. Truss is right we have to move in 2024 if we want to see some different things happen invite the independent candidates invite the Republican candidates. Listen to the policies you don’t have to like them. You don’t have to go home with them. It’s about what policies they are going to be put in place to benefit the black community as a collective all around the United States of America. It’s time for the black citizens of the United States to walk away from the Democratic Party unless the liars have something concrete in writing prior to voting for them to RAISE the quality of life for us. The right to vote was not the right to be aligned and be faithful to a party that no longer serves our community. We were given a right to vote and the opportunity to choose who we want to vote for. Let’s start being smart, like the other ethnicities that make up our country. Let’s educate ourselves and stop falling for identity, politics, propaganda, misinformation and disinformation that causes us to be misrepresented after every election. A lot of people are saying they got what they deserve NO! They were just voting as they normally have and have voted identity politics for decades. It’s now time to get and stay informed about politics and stop listening to the mainstream media and these black pastors for your political information.

The people of Chicago are GREAT!

The world needs more ppl like that. ❤ You are amazing. 💪🏽 Strong and honest. Linda Johnson for President.

Standing ovation from this corner of America !❤

Thank God and Communities like this that hold it down. This is inspiration to us ALL.

Good job 👏 citizen 1st take care home 1 st American 🇺🇸

Every time I see them speak I tear up… I grew up in that park in that community 🤎

Austin residents, keep standing up and speaking the truth.

❤❤❤love it !!! Remember the government have nothing if is not the people that pay taxes

That is Galewood, NOT Austin!

So proud of these fellow Americans❤️

Word !! Wish the Southside will stand like that love Y'all westside warriors.

The problem is that once the politicians placate you sufficiently, things will go back to before, and you will be forgotten until the next election. You need to vote the bums out.

WE DESERVE BETTER

"Not on our backs"? Just because they've won this battle, they still holding up financial responsibilty for every migrant. Not only in their city, but the country.

Cata Truss, I have so much respect for you. Please keep advocating and standing for right.

Are these the Republicans that Johnson was talking about 😅

It’s unbelievable that the needs of the people have been ignored for decades, and then migrants who come here illegally, they are concerned about, and putting millions of dollars towards housing and keeping them fed, providing shelters, when the people of this country are basically left to fend for themselves when they have a problem with housing and evictions and jobs that pay a living wage. I’ve seen problems of the city sewer system infrastructure problems ignored when I lived in Detroit. I understand why these people are speaking out so good for all of you in having your voices heard.

Chicago citizens. You inspire #AMERICA 🇺🇸 #1A #FREEDOM

I am PROUD of my Powerful Westside of Chicago People. My son played a football game against the Windy City Dolphin this past September these are the most Lovely and Friendly Community at Amundsen Park also cooked some good food at the game.

This issue is nearly identical in nature to the way concerned parents at school board meetings were covered by the media and treated by left wing politicians. They call you a bigot and steam roll over your rights. Vote red.

Right on man right on.May God Almighty bless you all and trust in him .

THANK YOU CHICAGO ENDS FOR STANDING UP FOR OUR CITY. THIS SHOULD SERVE AS IN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER CITIES THAT AMERICANS ALWAYS COME FIRST IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AMERICA WERE WE PAY HIGH TAXES TO LIVE HERE SO WE DESERVE ONLY THE BEST. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏

Applause 👏 to our Senior citizens I love you all 😊 That's right 👍 Sir... God bless you guys for standing up for your rights... I'm 62 years old myself... We have to continue fighting for our rights... But you guys know that the mayor isn't the one that helped... We need to vote him out... He is the worst nightmare Chicago has ever had... They are doing the same thing to other areas in our city... Charity is done at home first 🥇 Amen nice lady 😊

My old neighborhood I am proud of them. I ran to Dupage county (2001)and wish I had stayed 😢. Ain’t nothing we can’t do together. 🤜🏿👊🏿

The selfishness and disrespect for Gods Children. Our lord is in tears listening to this.

GOD BLESS HER COURAGE AND HONESTY ! . TAKE NOTE AND REMEMBER. BLACK HAT .AND COAT

Save your community. Get those leaders out!

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESNTATION

chicago, please don’t forget this when the next election cycle comes up.

Mrs. Tuss said it all! Help our Homeless, FIRST!! Use our Tax Dollars for our Homeless, FIRST! WHEN we stand together, and, NOT be afraid, to stand up to the City! Galewood/Amundsen Park District Residents is an example of what can be done by standing up, together and utilize our power! Lastly, what we need to do, as a People of the African American Race, to be recognized AND RESPECTED in the city of Chicago and the State of Illinois, at least once a week, take one day a week and NOT ONE AFRICAN AMERICAN SPEND MONEY TO PURCHASE, NOTHING ON THAT DAY! AND, then watch how much Money and Tax Dollars these stores, restaurants, Car Dealerships, other BUSINESSES, et al, ARE LOSING ON THAT ONE DAY, EVERY WEEK! AND, DON'T buy the items you WANT the day before! They will start giving RESPECT BY HEARING US WITH OUR WALLETS! 🛑 STOP trying to convince people that you got money spend so PLEASE take my money!! They know we have money to spend; that's why they're in our neighborhoods!!! Save your money! WE DON'T HAVE TO PROVE TO THEM THAT WE HAVE MONEY, THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT MUCH!! AFRICAN AMERICANS SPEND MILLIONS, DAILY! THINK OF A BUSINESS THAT YOU CAN START AND SELL TO THEIR PEOPLE, NOT JUST YOUR OWN PEOPLE! THINK UNIVERSALLY!! Just like the Powerful Woman stated:. "Democratic Party, WE ARE WATCHING YOU!"...... LOVE MY PEOPLE STANDING UP IN GALEWOOD/AMUNDSEN PARK DISTRICT❣️🙏🏽👼🏽💙

I’m so happy they all stay together as a community fighting hard for each other. May God bless all of you. Stay strong and stay together. If all of us in our local communities stuck together like they do. We could have such nicer towns throughout America. We shouldn’t wait for a crisis, but where I live, people won’t even say hi to each other until something goes wrong and then everyone comes out looking to find out any news suddenly. Like a bad storm or when police and or an ambulance shows up. Keep standing strong locals

Don't send them to Arkansas. Send them to Wyoming.

The city and country needs to clean up their own house before cleaning others. We have a lot of problems and people struggling in this country that should come first

Amen God Bless you guys enough taking from you guys and sure it is not over😢😢😢

Amen, Chicago need more people like this 👍
