Chicago's far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson is discovering that even his own Democrat allies have limits when it comes to his radical anti-ICE crusade. The city's top prosecutor is publicly torching Johnson's inflammatory "ICE on Notice" executive order, calling it "wholly inappropriate" and flat-out contradicting the mayor's claims about their supposed collaboration.
In late January, Johnson signed his virtue-signaling executive order directing Chicago Police to investigate and document alleged "illegal activity" by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The mayor claimed he was working hand-in-hand with prosecutors on this anti-federal government scheme.
But that narrative just collapsed spectacularly.
The city's prosecutor is now calling out Johnson's order as a disaster and stating bluntly that the mayor's claims of collaboration are "not true." That's Democrat-speak for "the mayor is lying."
Another Democrat Power Struggle
This embarrassing public spat reveals the chaos brewing in Democrat-run cities as they continue their war against federal immigration enforcement. While President Trump's administration is working to secure our borders and remove illegal immigrants who shouldn't be here, radical mayors like Johnson are more interested in political theater than public safety.
"The mayor's claims of collaboration are not true," the prosecutor stated, delivering a devastating blow to Johnson's credibility.
Johnson's executive order represents everything wrong with sanctuary city policies. Instead of helping federal agents remove dangerous criminals from Chicago's streets, this radical mayor wants to treat ICE agents like the criminals. It's backwards, it's dangerous, and now even his own team is admitting it's a mess.
Trump's ICE Will Not Be Intimidated
The good news? President Trump's ICE agents aren't backing down from political grandstanding by failed Democrat mayors. They have a job to do – protecting American communities by removing illegal immigrants – and no amount of virtue signaling from Chicago's city hall will stop them.
Chicago residents deserve better than a mayor who's more concerned with scoring political points against Trump than addressing the city's real problems. When your own prosecutors are calling you out publicly, maybe it's time to focus on actual governance instead of anti-ICE publicity stunts.
Will Johnson double down on his failed executive order, or will he finally start putting Chicago residents' safety first?
