Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order on Saturday, aimed at curbing the power of federal law enforcement officers and National Guard soldiers, said that President Donald Trump has threatened to be deployed in Illinois.
Democrat said at a press conference, “We find ourselves in a situation where we should take immediate, strict action to protect our people from federal overache.”
One of the main points of the order, Johnson said, “Every legal system” was to direct the law department to prevent Trump’s possible plan.
Johnson later stated that he would “use every equipment that is in our disposal, and it includes courts.”
“This is an area that has some glimpse of checks and balance in this country at least,” he said.
The executive order also includes a litni of other instructions, Johnson said, in which the police officers of Chicago may stop the federal law enforcement and prevent them from covering their face or police department from covering their uniforms.
“This order confirms that the Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with military personnel on police patrolling or civil immigration enforcement. We will not have our police officers who are working hard to reduce the crime every day, have been deputed for the President to do traffic stops and checkpoints,” Johnson said in a press conference.
Johnson’s move comes when the President has already deployed soldiers and federal law enforcement in Washington, DC, and as he has threatened to do the same in other major American cities such as Baltimore.
Most Democratic authorities have so far pushed back the dangers of Trump to send troops to American cities, issuing a statement condemning the President’s works on Thursday.
“Whether it is Illinois, Maryland and New York or another state tomorrow, the President’s dangers and the Governor’s request without the request and consent of the Governor of that state is an attempt to deploy the national guard of a state power, ineffective, and a dangerous abuse to reduce the mission of our service members,” Governors said in the statement. “This chaotic federal intervention should end in the National Guard of our states.”
Meanwhile, in Washington, Mayor Murial Boseer said earlier this week that the federal boom had reduced the crime, but the presence of immigration officials and National Guard soldiers was not working.
Boseer told reporters last week, “What we do not work is not working, there is a break between the police and the community, especially with new federal partners in our community.” “We know that masked ice agents in the community have not worked, and the national guards of other states have not been efficiently used for those resources.”
Trump has not announced a plan to send federal law to Chicago or National Guard soldiers to Chicago, but the Washington Post reported earlier this month that Pentagon was deeply involved in planning a military deployment in the city.
Earlier this week, NBC News reported that federal officials plan to increase agents in Chicago such as to increase the arrest of unauthorized immigrants next week.
Johnson said on Saturday that the city has received a reliable report that we have days, not the week, before our city looks at some types of military activities by the federal government. “
“It is not clear at this time what it will really look. We can see the military immigration enforcement. We can also see the National Guard soldiers. We can also see active-kartya military and armed vehicles on our streets,” Johnson said.
White House spokesman Abigail Jackson responded to Johnson’s announcement on Saturday, alleging the mayor of being a “Trump Derange syndrome”.
“If these Democrats focus on correcting crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts for criticizing the President, their communities would be very safe. Breaking on crime should not be a biased issue, but TD -suffering Democrats are trying to make it one,” Jackson said: “They call for Fellow Democrat Myor Myriariar.
On Friday, Trump Border Caesar Tom Homan told Fox News that the administration was taking action in Chicago.
“Chicago is coming, with every other sanctuary city,” Homan said. “President Trump is committed that we are going to focus and prioritize the sanctuary cities because it is the place where there is a problem.”
“Get out of the way, because we are going to do it,” Homan later said that local authorities were asked about the potential pushback.
Earlier this month, the President deployed National Guard soldiers and federal law enforcement officers to Washington, DC, which he has attempted to fight crime. Soldiers and federal officials along with the Metropolitan Police Department deployed in many areas of the country’s capital.
Till now, he has only deployed only federal officials and national guard soldiers in Washington as part of the crime-burning scheme, although earlier this year, Trump made the National Guard of California federal, despite the protests of Gowin Gavin Gavin Newsom, D-Calif, to send lodges to protests against administration’s immigration works.
Earlier this week, during an event at La Cross in Wisconsin, Vice President JD Vance talked about the President’s plans to send soldiers to other American cities, stating that he did not expect Trump to not expect the “army” soldiers on the governors and mayors to “force” the soldiers.
Vance said, “What the President has said is very simple, we want the governors and the mayors to ask for help,” later saying: “The United States President is not forcing anyone, although we think if we want we have the legal right to clean the roads of America.
The Vice President later referred to Chicago specially, told the attendees, “We are not far away from Chicago. There were many problems of Chicago’s crime. Why are you the mayor and governor who are anxiety about Donald Trump, who are presenting their own residents to help them about the fact that their own residents are being carved on the roads and not a coordination.
