Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will issue an executive order resisting the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. The order prevents Chicago police from collaborating with federal agents on immigration enforcement and directs them to maintain clear identification. The White House requested a military base to aid immigration operations, prompting Johnson's defiance. The Trump administration plans a broader crackdown on 'sanctuary cities,' while officials like Tom Homan urge Johnson to 'get out of the way'. Illinois Governor Pritzker called a potential National Guard deployment an 'invasion', suggesting ulterior motives beyond crime control. The White House criticizes Johnson's actions, framing them as publicity stunts.
