Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Saturday afternoon aimed at holding federal law enforcement in the city to municipal rules on policing while also keeping tabs on new deployments and informing citizens of their rights.
The order, the “Protecting Chicago Initiative,” comes after the Chicago Sun-Times first reported that Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago was being considered as a possible staging ground for an immigration blitz that could bring more than 200 federal agents to the area from Tuesday to Sept. 30.
On Saturday night, two sources familiar with base operations confirmed to the Sun-Times that the Department of Defense haD secured Naval Station Great Lakes to serve as a command center but not housing for agents.
Johnson said information received by the city set Friday as the arrival date. National Guard troops could also be sent to support the effort.

Protecting Chicago by keeping law and order out of Chicago
Sanctuary Chicago gets attacked by a foreign country.
Sounds insurrectionny.
He’s in an N-word state of mind and he just happens to be black.
Ask Jefferson Davis and company just how that went.
“Protecting Chicago by keeping law and order out of Chicago”
Let me see if I understand. Because of TDS the political powers of Chicago have embraced rampant violent crime. All this so Trump doesn’t get the credit when the rate drops?
Another view is what I’d call The Batman Conundrum. Even as a child I understood that no police commissioner would call in some random caped civilian because it would admit the problem was too big for him despite running a taxpayer paid army. The obvious question would be, why have the massive drain on taxpayers when some civilian can do the whole job for free?
If Trump solves Chicago’s crime problem, why even have a Chicago government? Okay, got it.
Realistically, the mayor’s best of all bad options would be to openly embrace Trump’s help, cooperate fully and then take as much credit as he could grab. But when hate runs your every thought...yeah...ain’t happenin’.
Protect Chicago criminals is what he means
If it were a white mayor it would be national and racist screams of the murder of all black men, still dont understand why prickster is still standing, fat white guy in a glass house on the hill
“Realistically, the mayor’s best of all bad options would be to openly embrace Trump’s help, cooperate fully and then take as much credit as he could grab.”
He’s not smart enough to do that.
L
That piece of paper is gonna be just as useful as writing, “Bullet-Proof-Vest” on a piece of paper and then taping it to your chest.
That’s some mayor you got there Shitkago!
Brandon needs his ying yang sent home. The boy isn’t ready to live in a civilized society.
I would argue that they embraced rampant violent crime long before, as a means of social control.
But no one seriously threatened their status quo before.
The mayor is too inept to protect Chicagoans and too ignorant to identify the seriousness of the crime in his city.
Sounds insurrectiony.
Protecting Criminals and Democrats initiative.
The guy is pathetic.
Gee...I wonder how long it would take DJT to “Federalize” any National Guard troops who were ordered to block ICE agents.
The best comedy act on TV is presently in process.
The Black mayor of Chicago was all fitted out at his table signing a blue leather bound executive order. He was flanked by his apparatchik’s from which the Black assistant tyrants were omitted.
He was mimicking President Trump who is going to destroy the previous administration for actually signed nothing.
“I would argue that they embraced rampant violent crime long before, as a means of social control.”
I doubt Chicago’s governing class ever gave a rat’s butt about whether there was crime or not. They simply don’t care as it doesn’t affect them. I’d argue it effects blacks at least by 90% and the government doesn’t care about poor blacks at all. Whether there’s crime or not doesn’t affect a single decision.
Now, in a Chicago where there was no crime, I’d argue the tax take, business development and industrial and commercial base would be hugely improved. But making that happen isn’t worth the extra effort it would take to achieve...because...”hey, not my problem.”
