But Muhammad, 53, who’s gone straight and runs a street patrol and violence prevention program called Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change says Venezuelan criminal gangs flooding shelters and taking over apartment buildings are the last straw for the struggling African-American community. He says they are furious at seeing government money going to what they call “non-citizens.”
“It is impossible to release gang members and criminals into our country through the borders and broken walls and infiltrate them in our community that’s already impoverished and broken,” Muhammad told The Post last week on the O Block, a stretch along South King Drive that’s considered the most dangerous in the city.
The latest figures show Chicago has spent almost half a billion dollars over the last two years on the more than 42,000 migrants who’ve arrived since 2022.
Many have been given money for rent, food stamp cards and even cars — and some landlords have pushed out local African-Americans because they can get more government money for housing migrants.
“The real issue is that America has allowed gangs to enter our country,” said a young Gangster Disciples member, David, standing on a high-volume drug-dealing corner near Martin Luther King Blvd.
“Gangs that they would consider ex-terrorist groups. They let terrorist groups into our country!” he yelled angrily to the Post.
How many other cities, I wonder? And when it happens, how many of the cops those cities have treated like crap are going to want to get in to open battles to try and stop it? And how many innocents will be caught in the middle?

The obvious best case scenario is for the gangs to murder each other in HUUUGE numbers.
I don’t want innocent folks who are trying to live non-drug dealing lives to get hurt but if 2000 GDs get offed and 2000 Venezuelan gang pukes get room temperatured, I call that a win-win.
Tell the cops to go get a cup of coffee. I bet at this point they couldn’t care less.
Pot....meet kettle. Local domestic terrorists upset about imported foreign terrorists. It would be funny...if it wasn't so disgusting.
Stock up on popcorn. When the black on brown fracas begins, it will be interesting to watch. That would be an excellent time for all LEOs to get in some range time, equipment repair, classroom training sessions, vacations...etc...
