Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson suggested on Tuesday that the Chicago Police should arrest ICE agents and other federal officers who he claims are breaking his new executive order aimed at hampering immigration enforcement.
On Monday, Johnson signed a dubious executive order creating “ICE-Free Zones” to ban federal agents from using city-owned properties as staging areas for immigration enforcement.
Johnson’s proclamation comes as President Donald Trump suggested that the anti-ICE actions by Chicago’s leaders are akin to an insurrection against the federal government.
Now, the mayor is claiming that violations of his orders are a “crime” and those who break those rules “should be charged.”
“It’s a crime. Here’s the thing, anyone who commits a crime should be charged,” Johnson said on Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. “I mean, isn’t that the basic rule of what they ostensibly refer to as ‘law and order?’”
