Chicago's radical Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson just threw down the gauntlet against President Trump's mass deportation operation, signing an executive order that essentially puts a target on the backs of ICE agents simply trying to enforce federal immigration law.
The stunning order directs Chicago police to investigate and potentially arrest federal immigration officers who Johnson claims are "breaking local laws" - a thinly veiled attempt to obstruct Trump's America First agenda to remove criminal illegal aliens from our streets.
This is nothing short of an act of rebellion against the federal government and the will of the American people who voted overwhelmingly for Trump's deportation promises. Johnson is essentially weaponizing local law enforcement against federal agents who are doing the job that Chicago has refused to do for years.
Sanctuary City Insanity Reaches New Heights
While hardworking Americans in Chicago face skyrocketing crime rates and neighborhoods overrun by illegal immigrants, Johnson's priority isn't protecting citizens - it's protecting the very people who shouldn't be here in the first place.
"This executive order is a direct attack on law and order and the safety of Chicago residents," said one local law enforcement source who requested anonymity.
Think about the insanity here, Patriots. Chicago police officers - who should be focused on stopping the gang violence and chaos plaguing their city - are now being ordered to turn their weapons on federal agents trying to remove dangerous criminals from American communities.
This is what Democrat obstruction looks like in practice. They'd rather protect MS-13 members and drug dealers than support the Trump administration's efforts to make America safe again.
Trump Administration Response Coming
You can bet the Trump-Vance administration won't take this lying down. With Attorney General Pam Bondi at the helm of the DOJ and a president who doesn't back down from fights, Chicago may soon learn what happens when you obstruct federal law enforcement.
Johnson's radical executive order isn't just bad policy - it's a dangerous precedent that puts both federal agents and Chicago residents at risk. How long will the people of Chicago tolerate a mayor who cares more about protecting illegal aliens than protecting them?
