Chicago mayor signs order to resist potential Trump crackdown

# The mayor of Chicago has signed an order detailing how the city will resist a potential immigration crackdown threatened by the Trump administration. Democrat mayor Brandon Johnson said they do not need nor want an unconstitutional and illegal military occupation of the city. Donald Trump has already deployed about two-thousand troops to Washington, DC, and has threatened to extend the order to Chicago. He described America’s third-largest city as a killing field, arguing crime in the city constitutes an emergency. A White House spokesperson described Johnson’s order as a publicity stunt.
