US President Donald Trump has urged that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker be jailed, accusing them of neglecting to safeguard federal immigration personnel. His comments on Truth Social came as hundreds of National Guard members were deployed near Chicago, intensifying the standoff between Washington and Democrat-led states. Mayor Johnson recently issued an order declaring the city an ICE Free Zone, preventing federal immigration agents from accessing municipal facilities. Both leaders have openly challenged Trump’s tough immigration crackdowns and the deployment of troops in major US cities.
