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?'”
Despite Johnson’s bellicosity, Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling was less willing to support arresting federal officers and noted that he can’t really expect CPD officers to arrest federal law enforcement “because someone deems what they are doing is illegal.”
Snelling had also told the press that the CPD has no duty to interfere in ICE activities, and said, “We do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents. We don’t have to agree with it. It doesn’t matter.”
Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke’s office also demurred from taking a stance on the mayor’s threats.
Despite the lack of direct support for his confrontational proclamations, Johnson insisted that he intends to prosecute federal officers.
“We’re going to see people in court,” Johnson exclaimed. “As far as other authority that allows for us to be able to enforce this ordinance, we’re exploring.”
