Chicago Mayor Defies Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Amidst Growing Resistance

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order directly countering President Donald Trump’s latest immigration crackdown, signaling a growing wave of resistance across the nation. The move prevents the Chicago police department from collaborating with federal authorities on immigration enforcement, patrols, traffic stops, or checkpoints, while also restricting officers from concealing their identities with face coverings.

Mayor Johnson has sharply criticized President Trump, accusing him of operating “outside the bounds of the constitution” and labeling his actions as “reckless and out of control.” In response, the White House, through spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, has defended the potential deployment of federal agents as a necessary measure to “crack down on crime,” urging Democratic leaders to focus on local crime issues rather than engaging in what they call “publicity stunts.” This escalating confrontation highlights the deepening divide over immigration policy and federal-city jurisdiction.
