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.”

I suspect the CPD will mutiny first but if Brandon does get a few cops to attempt an arrest his arrest will likely follow in very short order.
LOL Yes, he’s a shoe scraper in a dog park.
Arrest the mayor for sedition
If Lincoln could use the army to disperse the. Maryland legislature, Trump has all the power he needs to handle this.
He might as well, as he has appointed himself US emperor. Who is stopping him?
Johnson’s shelf life has expired.
Defund the police.
Disrespect the police.
Now ORDER them to arrest the Feds.
I don’t remember any Chicago mayor ordering the police to stop Eliot Ness from doing his job.
The mouse that roared. CPD officers will be arrested by the Feds if they try and arrest federal agents. Brandon and the walking heart attack prickster are trying the martyr approach. Chicagoans hate Brandon...he has a 6% approval.
Brandon will not go out and oppose the feds himself. The CPD won’t either. No one is going to challenge the feds...Brandon will be exposed as a powerless big mouth. I would guess there are thousands of black citizens who would enjoy deposing brandon.There may be a”palace revolt” in order to avoid martial law if it comes to that. Trump and the military feds are watching Brandon twist in the wind, while brandons fellow black citizens and children get gunned down every day by their own city neighbors. A very tragic situation.
Political posturing for the stupid masses...
Wow. I guess illegals are the hill democrats have chosen to die on. 2025 - Mark it for the history books.
“incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority”
Absolutely.
“The U.S. Code defines sedition as a crime involving two or more people in the United States for any of the following purposes:
To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to wage war against it
To oppose by force the authority of the United States government
To prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States
To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States
That will be fun to watch.
Mayors don’t get to create laws by themselves, thats not how city government works. His executive orders are not laws. If anything, they are orders people under his control must follow, but not anyone else.
😆😆😆😆😆
Well at least they are being honest and showing us the rral them. For so long they denied it. Now they’re loud and proud about it. I hope people record them and savd the media tapes, its gonna be great evidence for the prosecution when they are tried and convicted.
”Citizen’s arrest!!”
