Trump posted on Truth Social this morning claiming that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Seriously? ICE officers are upset they can’t use restrooms or grab brunch. If Chicago were truly the “war zone” he describes, would anyone even have time for brunch?
The truth is simple: ICE isn’t welcome in Chicago. When you send federal agents into communities that don’t want them there, of course there will be resistance. In the United States, states have sovereignty and the military is not meant to police civilians. The narrative Trump is pushing about “lawless Democratic cities” is pure political theater. He’s deliberately targeting top Democratic strongholds, not areas that actually face higher crime rates.
