Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order "banning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from entering any city property to enforce federal laws against illegal immigration. This includes streets and parking lots. Further, City Police are instructed to ignore any 911 calls from ICE personnel being attacked by protesters."
Gov. JB Pritzker hailed this "strong response to the federal invasion of Chicago and our state. In support of Mayor Johnson I have filed a lawsuit seeking a court injunction to prevent Trump from using National Guard troops to fight crime in our state. We going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's thugs out of Chicago."
One of the "levers" included a protester ramming an ICE vehicle and a crowd besieging the officers who were inside. When one of the ICE officers shot a driver that tried to run him over, the Mayor said "this is attempted murder by a member of ICE's illegal invasion squad. I have ordered our police to arrest this criminal so he can be tried, convicted, and punished. We will prevail over Trump's thugs in our just efforts to provide sanctuary for immigrants from Trump's tyranny. We are not alone in this battle for states' rights. Citizens are also rising up in California, Oregon, and elsewhere. We will not be bullied. We will not be defeated."
Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling was hesitant to heed the Mayor's order to arrest any federal officers. "Mayor Johnson's executive order is not a law. The federal officers are not committing a crime by trying to enforce federal laws. We have no legitimate authority to impede their activities."
Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke concurred with Snelling's observations and added "the last time some states' rights advocates decided to fight federal troops didn't turn out well. I'm okay with suing in court, but if we don't win there I think it's 'game over' for resistance to federal law enforcement in our state."

Not possible there most years, it snows too much.
Winter is coming.
Generally ignore that EO but also file motions and lawsuits opposing it as needed.
LOL!
Mayor Brandon Johnson is having another Panic Attack
Is that Al Gore in blackface?
If he tries to sell us carbon credits we’ll know for sure.
Perhaps God will send freezing rain upon Chicago this winter. Sure would not be an ice-free city then.
RCE agents should escort Pritzjer abd Johnson to federal ptisoms far, far away and a lonh way from each other
Mayor Brandon Johnson is on the rag.
Whatever that means?
