Applaud Chicago’s Fight Against Trump’s Immigration Agenda

In the face of escalating threats from the Trump administration, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has taken bold action to protect immigrant communities and defend constitutional rights. Over the weekend, he signed an executive order directing city agencies and law enforcement not to collaborate with federal agents in Trump’s planned immigration crackdown.

The mayor’s order makes clear that Chicago will not be complicit in unconstitutional mass deportations, militarized enforcement, or the presence of federal troops in city streets. Instead, it affirms that Chicago police must remain accountable to the people they serve, wearing visible identification and body cameras — and that the city will pursue every legal avenue to resist unlawful federal overreach.

This is leadership rooted in justice, community safety, and the belief that cities belong to the people who live in them, not to politicians in Washington. As Trump pushes to expand his authoritarian immigration agenda, Chicago is showing the nation how to stand strong.

Add your name to applaud Mayor Johnson’s stand, defend immigrant rights, and resist Trump’s dangerous attempt to militarize our cities.
