The #Chicago#Police Dept will be barred from helping #federal authorities with #civil #immigration enforcement or any related patrols, traffic stops & checkpoints during the surge, acc/to an EO signed by Mayor #BrandonJohnson.
The mayor directed all city departments to guard the #ConstitutionalRights of Chicagoans“amidst the possibility of imminent militarized immigration or #NationalGuard deployment by the federal government.”
When asked during a news conference about federal agents who are presumably “taking orders,” Johnson replied: “Yeah, & I don’t take orders from the federal government.”
Johnson also blocked #Chicago #police from wearing face coverings to hide their identities, as most federal #ICE officers have adopted since the #Trump admin took charge this year.

The federal surge into #Chicago could start as early as Sept. 5 & last about 30 days, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been made public.

On Saturday, #Trump commented about #Chicago crime & #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker on his Truth Social site: “Six people were killed, & 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, & JB Pritzker, the weak & pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing CRIME. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT”

Unlike the recent federal #takeover of policing in #WashingtonDC, the #Chicago operation is not expected to rely on the #NationalGuard or #military & is focused exclusively on immigration instead of being cast as part of a broad campaign against crime, the ofcls said.
