WASHINGTON (TNND) — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday defied a threat by President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar, saying police in his city would not work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to remove illegal migrants.
The remarks were Mayor Johnson's first since the presidential election, which saw Democrats defeated in several major races across the country. He reassured city residents that “no matter who is in the White House,” Chicago would remain a sanctuary city.
“This week I am very mindful that we are one week out from the presidential election,” he said. “The outcome of the election is not one that we were hoping for in many ways, to say the least.”
When asked specifically about a promise by Trump’s selected border czar, Tom Homan, that ICE agents will double their presence in sanctuary cities, Mayor Johnson said he is prepared to resist their efforts.
“We’re going to defend the people of this city because his attack, let’s be very clear — the president-elect, former President Trump, his threat is not just toward new arrivals, and undocumented families” Mayor Johnson said. “His threats are also against Black families.”
He's not only a racist and a totalitarian, he's an idiot.
Well, we know where to impound illegals until deportation: Chicago. With branch locations in NYC and LA.
Just put a wall around all three.
Oh yes you will.
“His threats are also against Black families.”
He must have been elbow deep when he pulled that one out.

To paraphrase Berta, Charlie’s housekeeper, Trump’s gonna snap you like a butter-bean.

This is going to be fun. I can picture a whole lot of city employees facing federal obstruction charges.
As I understand it, they are not required to help the Feds. But if they get in the way, they’ll be in handcuffs.
And I would expect the Border Czar to make an example of these people right from the start. Send that message.
Who was worse, this DEI mayor or the former DEI lesbian mayor Lori “Beetlejuice” Lightfoot?
How many battalions does he command?
He’s openly assisting people in the invasion of this country. Arrest him.
Ok Governor Abbott, send more their way.
those that do not bend... break.
kiss your fed tax dollars hasta lavista, baby.
When you have no viable argument pull the race card
Exactly what I was thinking.
There is a difference between helping ICE and hindering ICE. The Leftist governments don’t have to help, but if they hinder, they should be arrested and charges with resulting jail time.
You won’t get no federal money neither!
Send EVERY illegal to Chicongo by land, air, and sea in as short as time as possible. Drown that mayor in illegals.
You can bend or you can get broke.
