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.”

Believe me, there are bosses on the CPD that are dumb enough to try ordering a PO to do this; and there are PO’s dumb enough to follow that order.
Insurrection... Arrest and send to gitmo. Right now. I remember reading about whisky rebellions, veterans wanting benefits, and the fed really cracking down on a few hundred people... Arrest them all and send to gitmo and let history play out.
In his farewell address, didn’t George Washington counsel against the United States having any political parties?

Hee_Haww! Hee_Haww! Hee_Haww!
So Johnson thinks he can use a local mayor’s executive order to arrest federal officers for enforcing federal law? He’s truly a “special” kind of moron.
Yes he is.
.............uh..........................
He won’t arrest drug g lords and criminals but he’ll arrest ICE officers. Seriously, I’ve had an enough of these insurrectionists.
He looks like an idiot and he sounds like an idiot. But he really is an idiot.
“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”
so now this fool pretends his “executive orders” are equivalent to the force of actual legislation? ... exactly what are the “crimes” supposedly being prohibited in these “executive orders” and what are the penalties?
this guy is completely nuts and has totally run off the rails ...
The show will feature Oprah Winfrey and Hillary Clinton in tight shorts to attract an audience.
It does appear that the slavery-loving, human-trafficking democrats are trying to get their confederacy together again.

This is insurrection.
The mayor of Chicago is about to be converted into a federalist.
I'd say there will be a few CPDOs who will be shot, if that happens. ICE officers are now wired for survival. None of them will subject themselves to voluntary arrest.
Im quite sure his order is null and void. He runs a city, he cannot dictate federal immigration law…. He can lie to the illegals and tell them about the mythical ICE free zones…. Just like at one point they declared Chicago a “sanctuary city”. All he is doing is giving the illegals a false sense of security. ICE will not be stopped by this clown and Id love to see him send CPD off to arrest them while theyre working.
