Chicago Mayor Signs Order Over 'Escalating Threats From The Federal Government'
HuffPost
The executive order affirms that Chicago police officers will not collaborate with the National Guard or ICE agents.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Saturday aimed at pushing back against President Donald Trump’s threats of a planned immigration crackdown in the city.
The new order provides guidance to the city’s agencies and law enforcement on how to conduct themselves “in the midst of escalating threats from the federal government,” the order said.
Trump border czar Tom Homan said Thursday that plans are underway to send a “large contingent” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to Chicago.
“You’re going to see a ramp-up of operations in Chicago, absolutely,” Homan said during a press briefing. “You’re going to see a ramp-up of operations in New York. You’re going to see a ramp-up of operations continuing in L.A., Portland, Seattle, all these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE.”
Trump may also send in the National Guard after he deployed them in D.C. earlier this month over what he called a “crime emergency.” But National Guard members ― including some units armed with handguns and rifles ― have spent most of their time standing around, chatting with tourists and picking up trash.
