The mayor of Chicago has issued an order outlining how the city will push back against a possible immigration crackdown threatened by the Trump administration. We do not need, nor do we want, an unconstitutional and illegal military occupation of our city,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat. The order instructs city departments on how to respond in the event of federal immigration enforcement actions.
Trump has already stationed about 2,000 troops in Washington, DC, and has threatened to extend similar measures to Chicago, which he has described as a “mess.” Reports also suggest the administration may send a surge of federal immigration agents into the city. The order adds to the ongoing standoff between the White House and Illinois officials over crime and immigration. It calls on Trump and federal authorities to “stand down from any attempts to deploy the US Armed Forces” in Chicago.
It also reinforces several existing city rules, including requirements for law enforcement officers to wear body cameras and identification, as well as a ban on masks. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have faced criticism in other cities for concealing their identities.
