In a sadly typical example of cynical leftist politics, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson promised that city police will never cooperate with ICE, and doubled down on Chicago’s sanctuary city status. The controversial mayor criticized the Trump administration by ironically blaming them for causing a decision that labeled ICE’s actions as “terrorism,” urging resistance, even though since 2022, the Windy City has received over 51,000 illegal immigrants.
For context, Tom Homan, Trump’s border Czar, has reported a 700% increase in assaults on ICE agents, which he believes is a direct result of extreme DNC rhetoric. Reacting to Johnson’s remarks, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson slammed Democrats for prioritizing “criminal illegal aliens” and reiterated Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
Starting off his unacceptable remarks, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson promised his city, “Will not ever cooperate with ICE.” Continuing to double down, he criticized immigration enforcement, saying, “It’s unconscionable… that this administration, the Trump administration, has caused so much consternation and division.”
In a June 26, 2025, post to social media, the mayor posted a message, in both English and Spanish, warning illegals about ICE raids and encouraging them to “know their rights. Johnson posted, “We’ve received reports of ICE enforcement activity in Chicago today. Please know that Chicago police were not involved. My team and I are working closely with City officials. It’s important that everyone understands their rights. You can access the Know Your Rights resource guide at http://chicago.gov.”
Continuing his social media meltdown, the Chicago mayor compared basic immigration enforcement to various historical events. He dramatically whined, ” There should be no question what the country would look like if the Confederacy had won the Civil War. We are seeing it on full display with the way this administration is terrorizing working families across the nation.”
Still not done making a fool of himself, Johnson repeated baseless lies, saying, “ICE snuck into our city and set human traps, last week, on the president’s orders. I didn’t know you could look worse than George Wallace. This is sickening.”
Reacting to Johnson’s wild screed, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson slammed politicians who care more about illegal immigrants than their own voters. Jackson fired back, “Democrat politicians are desperate to defend violent criminal illegal aliens over American citizens. It’s wrong. President Trump is committed to carrying out the largest mass deportation operation in history by specifically targeting dangerous sanctuary cities.”

Similarly, in the comments under Mayor Johnson’s theatrical post, conservatives criticised the Democrat with a barrage of hilarious comments. One such reply said, “Nobody snuck into your city. We have federal immigration laws, and you are breaking the law. Nobody had a problem with deporting when Democrats did it. You weren’t running around calling Clinton or Obama fascists. You are nothing but a race bating, lying hypocrite activist.”
Building on this point, another commenter noted, “Is this the only way you can try to become relevant, by your racist comments? You aren’t doing anything to bring people together but keeping flaming the fire of racism. I pray that the Lord will deal with you and you’re ungodly acts, and that the Holy Spirit will deal with you.”
