Former President Donald Trump has called for the imprisonment of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, accusing them of failing to protect ICE officers. This follows the deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago under the Trump administration's order, a move opposed by state and city officials. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson have condemned Trump's actions, with Johnson alleging racial undertones and Pritzker calling it a move towards authoritarianism. Legal challenges against the troop deployment are underway, with a court hearing scheduled.
