Trump called for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed for «failing to protect ICE,» to which Pritzker responded, «Come and get me.»
Oct. 8 President Donald Trump called for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed for «failing to protect ICE», and Pritzker responded: «Come and get me.»
Trump wrote on Truth Social, «Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!»
Johnson and Pritzker are both Democrats who have spoken out against Trump’s plans to deploy troops to Chicago, which has included Johnson signing an executive order to create ICE-free zones within the city.
On Monday, Trump told reporters that he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act to send National Guard troops into Portland, after a federal judge blocked the mobilization a second time.
Also on Monday, Chicago and Illinois filed suit against the Trump administration to block deployments.
