Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson on Saturday warned federal officers that he intends to force the Chicago Police Department to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers if he thinks they are breaking the law.
Chicago’s police chief delivered a blunt warning amid rising confrontations with federal immigration officers, reminding residents in October that ICE and HSI personnel are “law enforcement officers” and that attacking or obstructing them is a criminal act. He cautioned that emotional disagreement with federal operations does not give anyone license to interfere, adding that Chicago police “do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents” and are committed to keeping them safe.
