Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson declined to answer whether he would block Donald Trump's planned increase in deportation operations in the city. Instead, he delivered a lengthy speech filled with anti-Trump rhetoric and liberal talking points during an interview on CNN host Victor Blackwell's podcast.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke Saturday for the first time in response to Donald Trump ’s plans to ramp up deportation operations in Chicago , and delivered a diatribe filled with left-wing talking points but little else.
“He has shown an incredible animus towards public housing. Public Housing has been the way in which families have found true stability, their ability to experience a human right. He has demonstrated contempt towards vouchers, which would ultimately make it hard for families to access affordable homes. We built 3600 affordable homes in the city of Chicago since I’ve been in office,” the left-wing mayor said, patting himself on the back.
“I don’t want them to be immigration officers,” Homan said of police departments in the clip Blackwell played. “I want them, when they arrest an illegal alien for a serious crime, I’m just asking them to tell us where to find them. I don’t want you to hold a minute more. You have to hold them under your charges. But just work with us and take these public safety threats, not only off the streets but on the country.
The rest of the interview was equally useless as CNN’s Blackwell pressed Johnson on the point several times and asked the mayor if his city’s sanctuary ordinances prevent the police from informing ICE about the presence in the city’s jails of illegal aliens, or if he — as mayor — simply intends to enforce a personal policy of preventing that cooperation.
