ICE has found dangerous criminals in Chicago violent felons, child traffickers, drug smugglers, and cartel members, all hiding under sanctuary protections. I'm Danielle Carter-Walters, candidate for Mayor of Chicago Those remarks were delivered during my testimony before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration in Washington, D.C., on November 19, 2025. During my testimony. I discussed my views on Chicago's sanctuary policies, immigration enforcement, public safety, and city spending. My testimony is part of the official congressional record. Get familiar with me. I've been fighting for the people of Chicago long before announcing my campaign for Mayor. As Mayor, I will put Chicagoans First. My administration will push to end Chicago's sanctuary city policy, which prioritizes and protects illegal immigrants over Chicago citizens .fully cooperate with federal law enforcement on criminal immigration enforcement, prioritize the removal of violent offenders, strengthen public safety, conduct forensic audits across city government, restore transparency, protect taxpayer dollars, and focus city resources on the citizens of Chicago.

Federal Prosecutors: Alleged Tren de Aragua Members Charged in Brutal Kidnapping and Killing of Chicago Teen Federal authorities have charged three alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in connection with the kidnapping and killing of an 18-year-old man on Chicago’s South Side, according to an announcement made Wednesday by U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros. According to federal prosecutors, the victim was abducted from a South Side park, taken to an apartment where he was restrained for several hours, and later transported to a vacant building. Investigators allege he was severely beaten before being shot multiple times. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the victim’s death resulted from blunt force injuries sustained during the assault, despite the multiple gunshot wounds. The allegations correspond with the May 18 kidnapping and death of Cristian Jose Rojas Barrios, who was reportedly taken while walking near Meyering Park. Authorities say his body was discovered the following day inside a vacant building in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood after his mother received a phone call from Venezuela directing her to its location. Chicago police later recovered three spent shell casings at the scene. Federal prosecutors have charged Kleiver Monasterio Briceno, 20, Jose Pacheco Torres, 26, and a third unidentified individual with kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and kidnapping resulting in death. Court records indicate that both publicly identified defendants were previously facing separate felony gun cases in Cook County and had been released on court-ordered electronic monitoring despite prosecutors requesting detention. According to court records, Monasterio Briceno was arrested in September 2025 on a firearm charge. Although prosecutors sought to keep him detained, he was released on electronic monitoring. After failing to appear for a scheduled court hearing in January, an arrest warrant was issued and remains outstanding. Pacheco Torres was arrested in February 2026 on a separate firearm charge and was also released on electronic monitoring over prosecutors’ objections. Court filings later showed multiple alleged violations of his monitoring conditions. After serving a seven-day jail sanction for those violations, his court-approved movement hours were expanded before his release back into the monitoring program. The federal case has renewed scrutiny of Cook County’s pretrial release system and the supervision of defendants released while awaiting trial.

Happy Independence Day, Chicago/America! 🇺🇸 Today we celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the world and honor the brave men and women who fought, and continue to fight, to protect our freedom. As we gather with our families, friends, and neighbors, let us remember that freedom is never guaranteed. It must be protected, cherished, and passed on to future generations. I pray for God's blessings over our military, our first responders, our police officers, our firefighters, and every family across Chicago and America. As I continue my campaign for Mayor of Chicago, my commitment remains the same: to fight for a safer, stronger, cleaner, and more prosperous city where families can thrive, businesses can grow, and every neighborhood has the opportunity to succeed. May God bless you, may God bless Chicago, and may God continue to bless the United States of America. Happy Fourth of July!

Chicago just went through a couple of storms, and once again we’re seeing the same issue across too many, neighborhoods downed trees and debris still sitting in our streets days later. Citizens are complaining, and upset . I just took videos of the mess still sitting in our communities after this storm, blocks long, full of downed trees, debris, and blocked areas that have not been addressed. Citizens deserve better response times and better coordination. This is not just about cleanup, it’s about safety, access for emergency vehicles, and basic city services working when people need them most. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation is responsible for tree removal in the public right-of-way and debris cleanup, and the city must ensure these crews are fully deployed and prioritized to the hardest-hit areas immediately after storms. We are paying them a lot of money, and communities should not be left waiting while hazards remain on sidewalks, streets, and parkways. I will be addressing this at the next meeting. We need faster response, better planning, and real accountability so that after every storm, cleanup is immediate—not delayed. Chicago deserves safe, clean, and fully functional neighborhoods, especially when citizens are already dealing with storm damage.

Ward Visits , Veterans, Small Business & Seniors. Yesterday I had the honor of visiting multiple communities across Chicago. First stop was the 45th Ward Flag Day Ceremony at Gladstone Park Chamber of Commerce, celebrating the 250th birthday of the American flag. I want to thank all of our Veterans for your service, sacrifice, and dedication. We appreciate you, we thank you, and we love you. It was also good to see 45th Ward Alderman James Gardiner and Dale Tippett as we came together to honor our nation’s heroes. Second stop was lunch at Bust Outs, a local small business with Alderman Jim Gardiner. This is exactly what we should see in our neighborhoods, creative Chicago-owned businesses building jobs, culture, and community. I had the Brown Line Burger, and it was excellent. As Mayor, I will cut red tape, improve safety, and support small businesses so they can truly thrive. Final stop was Premier Senior Living at Norwood Crossing in the 41st Ward, where I met, spoke with, and hugged some of our amazing seniors. They shared their stories and what matters most to them, and I’m coming back because their voices matter. I look forward to bringing something uplifting on my next visit. This is what public service is about, listening, showing up, and serving the people.

Three meetings at City Hall today. We were there from start to finish , the last ones to leave. I spoke. I listened. I watched. While many people only talk about change, I continue showing up, doing the work, and holding our elected officials accountable. Today was another reminder that the citizens must stay engaged and pay attention to what is happening inside City Hall. The decisions made there impact our neighborhoods, public safety, businesses, taxes, and quality of life. I'm not going anywhere. I will continue attending meetings, asking questions, demanding answers, and fighting for transparency and accountability on behalf of the citizens of Chicago. If you want change, you cannot sit on the sidelines. Get involved. Attend meetings. Contact your alderman. Hold your elected officials accountable. The people of Chicago deserve a government that works for them.

X has been censoring me for a while now.All social media platforms have been censoring me. When accounts on X posted about the candidates running for mayor, they included photos of Brandon Johnson, Susana Mendoza, and Alexi Giannoulias. But when people started commenting my name and saying they were voting for me, those comments were placed under "Probably Spam." When you opened the "Probably Spam" section, there were so many comments with my name from people saying they supported me for mayor and that I should have been included in that picture.

PLEASE READ: These are the questions REAL CHICAGOANS have. Remember Chicago paid 9,000 for each illegal alien to get housing. So again the Real Citizens ask, Who is eligible? Is this only for Chicago citizens, or are illegal aliens included again? Chicagoans deserve first access to housing, not people brought here at taxpayer expense. Chicago, before celebrating this new $70,000 housing program, let's get the facts straight. Eligibility is still unclear. Will this help Chicago citizens first, or are illegal aliens included? Chicagoans deserve priority. What happened to the money that was already allocated to the South and West Sides? Millions of dollars were promised. How much actually reached Chicago families? How many families were helped? Where are the results? NOTHING. We already know the city has spent BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars responding to the migrant crisis, while many Chicago citizens continue to struggle with housing costs and affordability. So let me get this straight. The city keeps raising property taxes, making it harder for families, seniors, and longtime homeowners to stay in their homes. Some people have lost their homes because they simply couldn't keep up with the rising costs. Housing has become less affordable. Homeownership has become harder to achieve. Property taxes keep going up. And now, during campaign season, the solution is a program offering up to $70,000 toward a down payment? How many people will this actually help? What are the qualifications? Who gets priority? And what is being done for the homeowners who are already struggling under the weight of higher property taxes and rising costs? Housing policies should help the people who are already here, protect homeowners from being taxed out of their neighborhoods, and put Chicago citizens first. It's just COMMON SENSE!

We're coming for those seats. Listen, Chicago , it's going to take all of us to save this city. The political machine is already preparing for the next mayoral race, and they're going to promise you everything they could have already done while they're in office right now. Most of the people talking about running for mayor already hold elected office. They vote on budgets, approve spending, and have access to information the public doesn't. So where were they when crime was rising, businesses were leaving, taxes were increasing, and Chicago's finances were being mismanaged? Many of them helped create the problems they're now promising to fix. Chicago cannot keep playing musical chairs with the same political insiders and expect different results. Take Lincoln Yards. In 2019, City Council approved a TIF projected at up to $900 million. Some analyses estimate the total commitment could reach approximately $1.3 billion when financing costs are included. Now it's 2026. How much has been spent? What has been completed? What return have taxpayers received? Who benefited? And here's what I don't understand. Susan Mendoza wants to now criticize Brandon Johnson over TIF spending, but she's been in office for years too. Susan Mendoza is the Illinois Comptroller. Her office's responsibility includes processing and issuing state payments authorized by law. If things were so broken, where was the alarm years ago? Why are so many politicians suddenly discovering problems when campaign season is approaching, and their planning on running for Mayor? Chicago doesn't need another machine candidate. Chicago doesn't need another insider moving to a different seat. Chicago needs accountability. Chicago needs transparency. Chicago needs real change. Chicago needs. FORENSIC AUDIT INDICTMENTS PRISON TIME If you want change, you have to vote for change. Chicagoans First.

Chicagoans have had enough of you. Brandon Johnson, this is exactly why I can't wait to win this mayoral race. Chicago deserves a full forensic audit so taxpayers can finally see where their money has gone and how City Hall has been operating. Chicagoans are struggling to make ends meet because of your failed leadership. Families are dealing with high taxes, rising costs, crime, and declining city services. Instead of making excuses, you should be helping the citizens of Chicago. Chicagoans need accountability, transparency, and results. That's exactly what my administration will bring. When I'm Mayor, we will audit the books, expose waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption wherever it's found, and make sure those responsible are held accountable under the law. Forensic Audits. Indictments. Prison Time. Coming Soon. That's why I'm running,to put Chicagoans first and restore trust in City Hall.

Everything I'm running on as Mayor, I've been fighting for or against. I was the first person from Chicago’s South Side to testify twice in one year on Capitol Hill, once before the House, once before the Senate, advocating for our communities, our safety, and our taxpayer dollars. I’ve been fighting for Chicagoans every step of the way, exposing how our neighborhoods are being neglected and pushing for the resources we deserve. As mayor, I will keep fighting for you. for safer streets, better policies, and real support for the citizens who built this city.

Mayor Johnson says we should be encouraged because there were zero homicides. But Chicagoans saw teen takeovers, dozens of shootings, more than 50 arrests, businesses disrupted, and five police officers injured. Public safety is not measured only by whether someone dies. It's measured by whether citizens feel safe walking their neighborhoods, riding the CTA, shopping downtown, going to work, and letting their children play outside without fear. Thank God for the doctors, nurses, paramedics, and first responders who saved lives. They deserve our gratitude and recognition. But the goal of city leadership should not be to celebrate that nobody died after chaos erupted. The goal should be preventing the chaos from happening in the first place. Chicago deserves better than leaders who celebrate the bare minimum. We need leadership that restores law and order, prevents crime before it happens, supports our police, protects our communities, and puts Chicagoans first. That's the difference between managing a crisis and preventing one.

Citizens are concerned. Chicago police responded to a welfare check Tuesday night in the 6800 block of South Perry Avenue in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood after an 18‑year‑old’s mother received a distressing phone call from someone in Venezuela claiming her son had been kidnapped. Body Discovered With Hands Tied Behind Back. Officers found Cristian Jose Rojas Barrios, 18, shot multiple times , in the chest and leg , and lying face‑down in a bathtub with his hands tied behind his back. Three 9 mm shell casings were found near his body. The Cook County medical examiner ruled his death a homicide In South Shore, three women were shot execution-style in an alley. Federal authorities later arrested an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member in connection with the murders. Chicagoans also remember the horrifying South Shore Drive case where a illegal alien murdered another illegal alien, and allegedly hid the victim’s body in concrete inside a building. Enough is enough. As Mayor, I will be TOUGH on crime. My administration will focus on preventive measures, not reactive ones. End sanctuary city status. Work directly with the federal government and federal law enforcement agencies. Lock up repeat violent offenders instead of releasing them back onto the streets. Fully support our police, but hold them accountable. Establish a Retaliation Prevention Task Force to stop cycles of violence before they escalate. Revamp CPD homicide and detective units. We must solve crimes. Expand intelligence-sharing with the FBI, DHS, ATF, and U.S. Marshals. Increase community tip programs and youth intervention programs, such as recreation, sports, job training, trades, mentorship, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and alternative education/methods. Chicagoans deserve safe neighborhoods, accountability, and leadership that puts citizens first.
