CHICAGO'S MAYOR JUST NAMED A SNOWPLOW 'ABOLISH ICE' – YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE BACKLASH!

Chicago’s winter warriors are about to get a new identity. The city’s annual snowplow naming contest has concluded, and the results are sparking conversation – and a little controversy.

From a flood of public submissions, six names rose to the top, each destined to adorn the front of a powerful snow-clearing machine. These aren’t your typical, utilitarian designations; they’re reflections of the city’s culture and, increasingly, its political climate.

Among the chosen few is “Abolish ICE,” a pointedly political statement that has drawn significant attention. The name joins a quirky lineup including “Stephen Coldbert,” a playful tribute to late-night comedian Stephen Colbert, and “Pope Frio XIV,” a chilly nod to the head of the Catholic Church.

Rounding out the fleet are “The Blizzard of Oz,” a whimsical reference to the classic film, “Svencoolie,” honoring a beloved local television personality, and “Caleb Chilliams,” a shout-out to the Chicago Bears’ rising quarterback star.

Each snowplow will be assigned to one of the city’s six snow districts, becoming a visible symbol of the city’s commitment to battling winter’s fury. But the selection of “Abolish ICE” has ignited debate, revealing deeper divisions within the community.

The choice isn’t a surprise to some. Mayor Brandon Johnson publicly endorsed the name back in December, during an interview on national television. His support underscores a clear alignment with progressive viewpoints and a willingness to embrace politically charged symbolism.

The snowplows, now bearing these unique names, will soon be deployed across Chicago, working tirelessly to keep the city moving during the harsh winter months. They represent more than just machines; they embody a city’s spirit, its humor, and its ongoing dialogue about important issues.
