Biden White House Worked Directly with the City of Chicago to Place Immigrants Across the State While Leaving Homeless Chicagoans to Freeze
A recent FOIA request made by Terry Newsome of Behind Enemy Lines revealed that the Biden White House worked directly with the City of Chicago placing immigrants.
Throughout an email chain of 207 pages, City of Chicago officials, FEMA representatives, and a Special Assistant to the President of the United States discuss different locations for placing immigrants across the State of Illinois.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FEMA had awarded approximately $20 million to the City of Chicago for food service contractors to feed illegal immigrants.
The award timeframe was from October 2022 to December 2024. This article also details the City of Chicago’s ‘Vendor Payments – New Arrivals Mission’ webpage detailing the $574.5 million that has been spent on the immigrant crisis thus far.
It’s relevant to note that the recent trove of FOIA emails between the White House, city officials, and FEMA reference an amount of $20 million being released from an embargo.
This could be the amount that was allocated to food services. However, the recent email chain only discusses placing immigrants in facilities, warming and transporting them in buses, and reports a detailed census on the new arrivals.
Given the context of the recent email chain, it’s plausible that the $20 million referenced could be in addition to the food services funds and reserved for these location and transportation services.
It has been established that the Federal Government has not only allowed the immigrant invasion at the border, but it has also funded it with tax dollars.
It is not surprising that distrust in government is at an all-time high. While Americans in Florida and North Carolina suffer from hurricane fallout, non-citizens are reaping the benefits of shelter, food, clothing, and cell phones.
Most egregious, the unit of government designated to deal with Emergency Response – FEMA – is funding the care for the illegal immigrants.
In other words, the government intentionally created an emergency of illegal immigration, diverted funds away from tax paying Americans who need emergency response, and applied them to non-citizens.
Things get more interesting as Special Assistant to the President of the United States, Molly Ritner, enters the scene.
City of Chicago officials had requested information from the White House on available Federal sites for housing illegals. Special Assistant Ritner provides the following:
“32 federal sites across the State of Illinois were identified as having vacant space — this included review of potential space across federal agencies including DOD.”
With the City requesting Federal agency space, including Department of Defense, it would appear as if the State of Illinois has a refugee crisis on their hands. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on human trafficking among other crimes at Chicago migrant facilities.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on multiple criminal activities at these migrant facilities showing Chicago police and public services are incapable of managing the crisis. The evidence shows unpreparedness indicating the crisis has been manufactured hastily.
Further on in the emails, Special Assistant Ritner is found advising the City of Chicago about warming, or cooling buses provided by FTA (Federal Transit Administration).
She indicates that the buses can be used for warming, or cooling ‘vulnerable populations’ as long as the transit agency can perform it’s ‘revenue service.’
Additionally, Special Assistant Ritner advises the City that FTA funds can be used for ‘non-traditional’ public transportation, aka illegal immigrant transportation.
At least Chief of Staff for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Cristina Pacione-Zayas, is concerned about the welfare of the immigrants.
In an email from October 19, 2023, she points out that the White House, DHS, and FEMA agreed to submit deliverables including, “Mobile assets to ensure new arrivals sleeping in the streets have access to heat throughout the night…” Pacione-Zayas lists a PhD next to her name on LinkedIn indicating importance and authority. Further investigation shows her doctorate is in “Educational Policy Studies.”
Terry Newsome documented these findings in a recent video post on X. The heartbreaking reality is the inhumane treatment of Chicago and Illinois’ very own citizens. In the clip, Newsome interviews bus drivers and homeless men.
The bus driver openly admits that the bus is for migrants. Homeless men in tents in freezing temperatures had attempted to board the warming buses and were denied.
A homeless man reports that he knows a friend who lost his fingers and toes. Another woman he knew died. One man in a wheel chair is brought to tears describing the situation and his sympathy for veterans.
As he laments the mistreatment, his final comment is salient, “…it’s like we’re disposable people.”

The need for retribution regarding the immigration crisis is long overdue. The Trump administration’s promise to ameliorate this crisis is imperative. What’s lost in the political argumentation is the human cost.
In matter of fact, a federal government has abused its own citizens as a result of corruption and over-politicization of government institutions. The illegal immigration issue is not only a manufactured humanitarian crisis. It should be the basis of accountability for government officials to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
