Catching Up With Quigley: Week of October 6

October 10, 2025

Chicagoland has been reeling from the influx of ICE agents and their escalatory actions in our communities. Instead of helping lower the temperature, this week, Trump inflamed tensions by deploying the Texas National Guard into Illinois. The deployment of hundreds of ICE agents and National Guard troops is not only unnecessary, it’s costing us millions of tax dollars. None of it is making us safer.

Republicans had two choices: come to the table with Democrats or shut down the government. They chose to shut it down. Democrats passed the ACA's "premium tax credits" in 2021, and as a result, 11 million Americans have signed up for health insurance. Now, Republicans want to let those tax credits expire, which would mean price increases of 114% for 22 million Americans. I'm ready to negotiate a deal at any time, but Republicans need to come to the table.

Political violence has no place in our nation. I have said this before, and I will continue to say it until this scourge has been eliminated from our politics. This week, Republicans introduced a resolution that required two things. First, that I condemn political violence. And second, that I honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk. I have done the first. But I cannot do the second.
