Abstract

The article focuses on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's executive order directing city departments, including the Chicago Police, not to cooperate with a potential federal immigration crackdown involving National Guard troops or other federal agents, as anticipated from President Donald Trump's administration. The order prohibits collaboration on joint law enforcement activities related to immigration enforcement and emphasizes protecting residents' constitutional rights to peacefully assemble and protest. This action responds to reports of a possible militarized federal deployment to Chicago, similar to operations previously conducted in Los Angeles, amid Trump's broader threats to send troops to Democratic-led cities to address crime. Despite these federal threats, Chicago police data indicate a significant recent decline in violence and shootings in the city.
