Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Directs Local Police to Investigate "Rogue, Reckless" ICE Agents
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order directing Chicago police to investigate reports of illegal activity conducted by ICE and other federal immigration agents. The move came in the aftermath of Trump’s so-called Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago late last year, when masked agents flooded neighborhoods, snatching residents off the streets as part of Trump’s mass deportation campaign. “What this executive order is doing is showing up for the people of Chicago, … creating a model for the rest of the country,” Johnson tells Democracy Now!
