Chicago Mayor Objects to Trump's Immigration Crackdown Plan
Mayor Johnson's executive order prohibits Chicago police from assisting federal immigration enforcement and military operations amid contested plans for federal intervention in local crime control.
- The Trump administration plans to deploy federal officers to Chicago this week to carry out an expanded immigration enforcement operation.
- This action follows previous deployments in other cities and meets opposition from Chicago officials who say crime has fallen and no contact was made by the administration.
- In response, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed the Protecting Chicago Initiative on August 30, which limits city police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and restricts uniform use and face coverings.
- CBS News reported federal tactics in Chicago will mirror Los Angeles operations that included armored vehicles and tactical gear, while Secretary Kristi Noem vowed to add resources to these efforts.
- Officials and residents warn the deployments may violate local autonomy and the Posse Comitatus Act and have sparked legal challenges and public protests against a militarized federal presence.
