""We're absolutely not willing to put on pause any work that we will do to keep communities safe," Noem said. "The fact that Gov. Pritzker is asking for that is shameful and, I think, unfortunate that he doesn't recognize how important the work is that we do to make sure we're bringing criminals to justice and getting them off our streets.""
""I would appreciate your cooperation and confirmation that federal agents will stand down from any actions that could endanger or harm perfectly innocent children in our communities during this Halloween weekend. We have heard from teachers, parents, and other caregivers that children are anxious." "Let them enjoy a time-honored American tradition safely and peacefully. Please let children be children for one holiday, free from intimidation and fear.""
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker asked federal immigration authorities to pause ICE and CBP raids over Halloween so families and children could celebrate without fear. Pritzker urged federal cooperation to stand down from actions that could endanger innocent children and said caregivers reported anxious children. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem publicly refused the request, saying enforcement cannot be paused and stressing the importance of bringing criminals to justice and keeping communities safe. The 7th Circuit ruled that a Border Patrol commander need not give daily operational updates to a judge after a prior ruling had required them.
