Racist Chicago mayor warns Trump about sending troops to his city

Mayor Brandon Johnson is not reacting well to Trump administration threats of federal troop deployment in Chicago.

Reports that an official in President Donald Trump’s administration said “Chicago is next, if they go too far,” regarding the sanctuary policies and protests in the city aren’t sitting well with Johnson.

“The second they do, the president is prepared to prove that nobody is above the law,” the official added.

“It’s just another example of his animus towards working people,” he said at a news conference. “I think it’s important that the president respects the Constitution. If you’re asking me whether this president will work with city leaders, it’s clear he’s not interested in doing that.”

Anti-ICE protests in the city have caught the eye of those in Washington D.C., but Johnson doesn’t care. He has previously vowed to “resist” Trump at every possible turn.

“We will continue to resist. Whether it’s in the courts, in the streets, or through public policy, we’re going to stand up for working people,” the mayor said.

Watch:

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says he will “resist“ the Trump administration and “take to the streets.”

ICE is seeing a 413% increase in violence against agents. 4 agents were injured in OR yesterday. Agents were injured in the LA riots.

X users reacted to the mayor’s call for action:

Mayor Brandon Johnson’s call to resist federal ICE raids is not only inflammatory but illegal, as it obstructs federal immigration enforcement, endangering public safety and violating federal law. @ICEgov @RealTomHoman this needs your immediate attention.

He has the lowest approval rating of ANY mayor!

I wonder why?

He should be arrested …
Until accountability is restored, this will continue

While he sits in a protected space with body guards.
