Chicago mayor signs executive order directing city to resist Trump’s immigration raids
(www.theguardian.com)
Jfc for some reason my mind kept reading "Brandon Johnson" as "Hunter Biden" and I think I just realized why.
GOP used brainwashing. It's super effective!
When will the police start asking to see warrants to protect their communities?
The order should be to stop and ID any masked "police force" to ensure they are legitimate.
None of them are legitimate. ICE personnel should be arrested, as well as any other vigilantes trying to kidnap people from our communities
Never, but I'd love to be proven wrong
Cops would love to not need warrants to persecute people, so they'll love this new trend of enforcement.
I keep saying this isn't going to go the way the regime thinks it is.
He wants to bully and intimidate left voting strongholds into submission. It's part of Project 2025. It won't work. Mostly it won't work because it's all a big show with some real arrests and detaining. Entertainment, essentially.
It's a start. Go further and have the police document every encounter, get badge numbers and names and make the info public. And don't show up when the public starts taking some accountability into their own hands.
I don't understand this. Its pathetic.
You shouldn't be telling your police to "not cooperate" with masked thugs who have invaded your city and have kidnapped countless of your citizens.
You should be telling your police to conduct raids to arrest the kidnappers.
I'm actually surprised the Nat-C's didn't go for Chicago first, since it's been a dog whistle to bring up at least ever since Obama ran for office.
When is the hostile invasion happening? Will it be tomorrow?
What are you talking about? ICE has been hostilely invading our communities for years..
Can we have the South Korean Style standoff between police and the S.S.? 👀
(I know its supposed to be initialized as USSS, but SS seems right considering the situation right now)
