Sheriff Tom Dart
“This is not the lotto… this isn’t something where we’re rolling the dice and saying, possibly this has been done legally. Maybe it hasn’t but in the meantime, you and your children go find someplace else to live, plenty of homeless shelters out there. We can’t do that.”

And so it Begins – Chicago Sheriff Says NO to Enforcing Foreclosures
Chicago Sheriff Says NO to Enforcing Foreclosures
The sheriff for Cook County, Illinois, which includes the city of Chicago, said on Tuesday he will not enforce foreclosure evictions for Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase and Co. and GMAC Mortgage/Ally Financial until they prove those foreclosures were handled “properly and legally.”
Bank of America, the largest U.S. mortgage servicer, and GMAC, on Monday both announced rollbacks from their foreclosure moratoriums.
The announcement by Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart comes after weeks of damaging accusations of shoddy paperwork that may have caused some people to be illegally evicted from their homes.
“I can’t possibly be expected to evict people from their homes when the banks themselves can’t say for sure everything was done properly,” Dart said in the statement.
“I need some kind of assurance that we aren’t evicting families based on fraudulent behavior by the banks. Until that happens, I can’t in good conscience keep carrying out evictions involving these banks,” he added.
Or as Denniger puts it…
Here’s a message to all the County Sheriff’s: Tell the banks to **** off!
The sheriff for Cook County, Illinois, which includes the city of Chicago, said on Tuesday he will not enforce foreclosure evictions for Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase and Co. and GMAC Mortgage/Ally Financial until they prove those foreclosures were handled “properly and legally.”
Imagine that: A lawman who understands that The Bill of Rights actually applies to the people!
The 5th Amendment, specifically: You may not be deprived of liberty or property without due process of law.
“Robosigned” documents violate that right. So does perjury in court proceedings.
“I need some kind of assurance that we aren’t evicting families based on fraudulent behavior by the banks. Until that happens, I can’t in good conscience keep carrying out evictions involving these banks,” he added.
Now that’s even better. Will Sheriff Dart extend this all the way back to the origination of these loans, their pooling into securities, and questions about whether or not they were in fact sold more than once, rendering the person who claims to be foreclosing not necessarily the real party at interest?
What if the note has been bifurcated and nobody has a right to foreclose? Sue to collect, yes. Foreclose, maybe not.
Let’s see lawmen and lawwomen all across this nation refuse to accede to the banksters demands until they prove that the law was complied with – up and down the line.
Sheriffs are elected officials.
The elections are coming.
We the people must demand that each and every Sheriff standing for election take a position on this – will you stop enforcing foreclosures NOW and continue to do so until the banks prove that each and every one is 100% legal, including all required transfers and endorsements, from origination to eviction?

I sure could use some…
God Bless Tom Darty. What is right, is right. What is wrong is WRONG. Love ya!
So now the Cook County judges will foreclose more mortgages now that the good sheriff has taken the conscience monkey off their backs.
qwester. You are trying to say that Tom Dart is doing something wrong by standing up for homeowners?
Ley’s pray heroes like Tom Dart have enough bullets in their guns!
God I only WISH we could get him to come down to Charlotte County Florida to replace Bill Cameron who will not enforce burglary laws, let alone understand there are laws to protect WE THE PEOPLE…….. Also like MS J said, this is MUCH more than just a couple of these banks though – these need to stop and LAWS need to be enforced…..
Thank You, Tom Dart! Finally a politician who gets it! He is trying to be the GATE KEEPER for homeowners. Something the judges can’t seem to want to do! Now if all of the rest of the politicians would just do the right thing, maybe we would have something here.
HATS OFF TO YOU…..I pray…that this spreds like the cancer that IT IS !!!!! It’s my understanding that some banks are buying them back for $100….righting off the loss…..the poor people still owe the money…..THEN they turn around and sell it for market-A TRIPLE HIT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention ……the quasi modifications are a scam…that theyr’e controlling . That’s why everyone’s getting the run-around with them….Yuuuup Mean while the debt continues to RISE !!!!! What a scam…. YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow !!!Finally, someone who knows right from wrong and is willing to stand up for our rights !!!!
Thank you GOD!!!! But everyone needs to know as well it’s not only the banks that have been mentioned that have fabricated and false documentation forwarded to the courts. Banks like HSBC, EMC AND DEUTSCH BANK OF AMERICAS, DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST, ETC AND A HOST OF MORTGAGES SUCH AS CARRINGTON MORTGAGE AND MANY MORE. THEY JUST HAVEN’T ADMIT TO THEIR WRONGDOINGS.
