Chicago Woman Deletes X Account After Criticizing Trump’s Federal Troop Deployment Following Multiple Carjackings

A Chicago woman deleted her X account after facing backlash for a post criticizing President Donald Trump’s plans to deploy federal forces to high-crime cities.

Jill Ciminillo, an automotive journalist who has long spoken out about crime in Chicago, opposed federal intervention in her city—even after suffering a recent carjacking that left her with a broken arm. 

In her message, Ciminillo wrote, “Dear [Trump], I’ve been carjacked in Chicago with my arm broken. I still don’t want you or your troops here. TIA. BTW there are no red hats here,” alongside photos showing her injury. 

According to her social media profiles, she has been a victim of carjackings for at least seven years, highlighting a prolonged personal experience with violent crime. 

Her latest post quickly went viral, drawing attention from both local and national audiences.

Conservative commentators and social media users responded within hours, arguing that her stance prioritized politics over public safety. 

“I mean who isn’t good with a little carjacking to be able to get some TDS virtue signaling in. This is the insanity of today’s left,” wrote Donald Trump Jr. 

“There are enough obscene words I can use to describe this fvckwit. I said it before and I’ll say it again: Liberal women are the cancer of our society.” The X account I Meme Therefore I Am commented. “Jill Ciminillo is the poster child for retardness.”

“If we’re handing out crowns for Chicago’s Queen of Dumb, say hi to our winner: Jill Ciminillo. Or should I say, Jill ‘I’d Rather Die Than Let Trump Help’ Ciminillo?” another user wrote.

Additional commentary highlighted the apparent contradiction in her position. 

One user wrote, “She got her arm turned into abstract art during a Chicago carjacking, and instead of begging for some real law and order, she’s TDS-raging at President Trump like, ‘I’ve been mugged and mangled, but please, keep your troops away—I’ll take another broken bone over law and order any day! TIA!’” 

Another added, “TDS means you’d rather have your arm broken in a violent carjacking just to own the conservatives. There’s no fixing this.” 

A third post read, “This post is having the exact opposite effect of what was intended. All it’s doing is proving to the rest of the county that people in Chicago aren’t right in the head enough to keep themselves alive. This is the best endorsement of Trump’s policies ever.” 

Earlier this month, President Trump had federalized the D.C. Police and deployed the National Guard to restore order in the nation’s capital. 

He subsequently identified Chicago as a potential next target for federal intervention, stating, “Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor — grossly incompetent. And we’ll straighten that one out probably next. That will be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough.”

Ciminillo’s decision to remove her account intensified discussions about public safety and social media accountability. 

Critics argued that her opposition to federal intervention, despite a long history of being victimized in carjackings, highlighted a tension between political ideology and practical safety considerations in cities grappling with high crime rates. 

Observers noted that her post, meant as a political statement, inadvertently underscored the challenges facing law enforcement in Democratic-led cities.

The story continues to generate national attention, with commentary from political figures, media outlets and social media users fueling ongoing debate over crime, public safety and the role of federal intervention.
