Pags dives into the chaos after ICE agents in Chicago were reportedly boxed in by protesters over the weekend — and local dispatches seem to show orders for the city’s police to stand down. Reports say when federal agents called for backup, Chicago’s chief of patrol told officers not to respond. Now, CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling is pushing back hard, insisting his officers did respond and that claims of a stand-down are false. Pags cuts through the spin and lays out the full receipts — dispatch tapes, timeline conflicts, and who stands to benefit from false narratives. You’ll hear exactly where the contradictions lie, who’s running cover, and why this city’s top cop may be more part of the problem than the solution.
