Chicago mayor vows city police ‘will not ever cooperate with ICE’

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson vowed Tuesday that his city “will not ever cooperate with ICE”

“You know, again, it’s unconscionable at a time in which so many working people and poor people need government to show up for them, that this administration, the Trump administration, has caused so much consternation and division,” Johnson said Tuesday during a press conference.

Johnson was responding to a question about whether the city would “set up local police perimeters around schools to shield students from federal agents without warrants.”

“Look, we are welcoming city ordinance,” Johnson said. “Our local police department will not ever cooperate with ICE, whatever their constitutional authority is. That is obviously relegated to the Trump administration. All of our sister agencies, city departments have been thoroughly briefed by a corporate counsel, and I’ll pass it over to her in a second about what they can and cannot do.”

Johnson has been vocal about his criticism of ICE.

Last month, he urged House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to “speak up” regarding ICE’s immigration enforcement that the mayor characterized as “terrorism.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson vowed Tuesday that his city “will not ever cooperate with ICE.”


Obstruction of justice is the act of illegally preventing or interfering with a legal or governmental proceeding. This can include actions like tampering with evidence, influencing witnesses, or hindering law enforcement investigations. It’s a broad term encompassing various offenses designed to impede the administration of justice.

Key aspects of obstruction of justice:
Interference with legal proceedings:
This can involve anything from destroying evidence to threatening witnesses or jurors.

Intent is crucial:
A person must knowingly act to obstruct justice, and their actions must be intended to impede a legal process.

Federal and state laws:
Both federal and state statutes prohibit obstruction of justice, with varying penalties depending on the specific offense and jurisdiction.

Examples of obstruction of justice:
Tampering with evidence, like hiding or destroying documents.
Influencing or intimidating witnesses.
Providing false information to law enforcement.
Resisting arrest or interfering with law enforcement officers.
Perjury (lying under oath).
Penalties:
Penalties vary widely, from misdemeanors with jail time and fines to felonies with lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines.

Let them talk. Let them go on record with their intention to obstruct justice. I am old enough to remember the 1950s and 1960s when the Federal Government begin to go after the Southern States for segregation, Jim Crow laws, and Government Officials, the police and the courts, protected whites when charged with crimes against blacks.

The Federal Government has more money, more power than state or city governments. Once the spotlight is directed their way they will in the end submit, or find themselves in prison.

Remember the Democrat battle cry, “no one is above the law”.

It is odd that they are willing to die on this particular hill when close to 60% of Americans support deporting ALL illegals. (I know the arguments, but sometimes it is better to retreat than die in a losing battle).

Could any one in Chicago arrested on federal charges sue the city for equal protection.
If the city will help illegals breaking federal laws. Then the city should provide protection for all federal biology.

“will not ever cooperate?

Well, the Fed Gov can cut off the Federal funding to Chicago. Before they try the mayor for refusing law enforcement.

It’s more likely that the police will chose to not cooperate with the miserable turd pretending to be a mayor.
