Homan Says ‘Good Luck’ as Johnson Vows Chicago Won’t Work with ICE

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JUL 8 – Mayor Johnson insists Chicago police will never assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement despite federal pressure, with the city hosting over 51,000 undocumented immigrants since 2022.

  • On Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson held a press conference vowing that his city and police will never cooperate with ICE enforcement efforts.
  • Johnson made the pledge amid the Trump administration’s plans for the largest mass deportation targeting sanctuary cities providing safe harbor to criminal illegals.
  • Johnson described ICE as a militarized force used by Trump, characterized its enforcement as terrorism, and said Chicago will collaborate with other sanctuary cities instead.
  • A Trump official responded with “good luck” to Johnson, while White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson accused Democrats of defending violent criminal illegal aliens.
  • This exchange highlights escalating conflicts over immigration, with assaults on ICE up over 500% this year and Chicago facing a DOJ lawsuit for its sanctuary policies.
