Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to protest the Trump administration’s immigration raids across the country. “I am counting on all of Chicago to resist in this moment,” said Johnson,

Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson has been brutally slammed online after vowing to “resist” the Trump Administration. The outrage followed his recent interview on MSNBC, where the Democrat vowed to fight back against the Trump administration’s deportations.

City lawyer Mary Richardson-Lowry said the administration won’t cooperate with the subpoena because doing so would expose vulnerable applicants.

Willie Mathews Jr., 21, of Matteson, Illinois, is facing felony charges including false personation of a police officer with a weapon.

The federal government has prepped Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactical teams for deployment to Chicago, city officials have learned. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson reacted to the news during a press conference Wednesday.

I am counting on all of Chicago to resist in this moment,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said. “Whatever particular vulnerable group is being targeted today, another group will be next.”
