Mayor Johnson Issues Executive Order B
Chicago Challenges Trump Over Policing Order
Amid ongoing gun violence, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order limiting city cooperation with federal law enforcement.
The move comes after a violent Labor Day weekend that left several dead.
Johnson’s Order
Johnson announced that Chicago police will not join National Guard patrols, federal arrests, or immigration raids.
Officers must wear visible CPD insignia, keep body cameras on, and avoid covering their faces.
He said the order protects “transparency and accountability” and guards communities from federal overreach.
Federal Reaction
The White House called the move “political theater.” Spokeswoman
Abigail Jackson said Democrats should “focus on reducing crime” instead of attacking the president.
What’s Next
Legal experts say the clash could head to court as both sides debate local autonomy versus federal authority—while Chicago residents continue demanding real solutions to street violence.
