Chicago mayor prohibits city police collaboration with National Guard amid Trump’s threats

The mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson, a democratic, signed an executive order on Saturday prohibiting the city police officers from cooperating with the National Guard forces or federal agents if President Donald Trump continued his threats to deploy them in Windy.

Johnson said at a press conference with other city leaders: “This executive is conclusively that this president will not enter and scream with the police station,” Johnson said at a press conference with other city leaders.

The mayor’s order confirms that Chicago police officers will continue to impose government and local laws, but they will not work with the National Guard or Federal agents in patrols, arrests, migration enforcement or other law enforcement procedures.

“We will protect our constitution, we will protect our city, and we will protect our people,” he said. “We do not want to see tanks in our streets. We don’t want to see families torn. We don’t want to be thrown at the back of the unique trucks. We don’t want to see the homeless Chicago who are harassed or disappeared by federal agents.”

It also guides the city police by wearing the official police uniform, continuing to identify themselves, following up the procedures of the body’s camera and not wearing masks so that they can be clearly distinguished from any federal operations.

Johnson said: “The Chicago Police Administration will not cooperate with military personnel in police patrols or enforcing civil immigration,” Johnson said. “We will not have our police officers who work hard every day to overcome the crime you are going to to stop the traffic stop and inspection points of the president.”

It states that the deployment of federal military forces in Chicago without the approval of the local authorities “undermines democratic standards, violates the sovereignty of the city, threatens civil freedoms, and risks the escalation of violence instead of securing peace.”

This comes at a time when Johnson and the Illinois Governor JB Pritzker were afraid with Trump because of the capabilities of the National Guard forces deployed in Chicago to treat crime in the city.

Johnson was martyred with the data that shows this Violent crime It decreased last year, including murders and theft overwhelmed by more than 30 %, and fires decreased by about 40 %.

Pritzker also warned Trump that “the procedure will receive a cold” and that federal publication without the state’s request will be “unconstitutional” and “non -American”.
