"Everyone knows the score, right? The authoritarians divide and conquer and they create an other' and then they pick on it, pick on the person, harass them, jail them, and that's all used as a direction so they can steal as much as they can [and] maintain power, Cusack said. We all know history. So, that's what he's doing, and we have masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting people."
"Cusack, in a different clip shared by CNN later, told the president to go to hell, before adding Trump was ignorant of Chicago's liberal history. What's interesting is that he doesn't understand that all the labor rights around the world came from this town, this place, Cusack said. So if he thinks this place is going to be a fascist hub no chance."
Actor John Cusack condemned President Donald Trump's deployment of Border Patrol and ICE agents to Chicago and directly told the president to 'go to hell.' Cusack characterized the deployments as authoritarian divide-and-conquer tactics that target and harass marginalized people, enable seizures of power, and involve masked agents abducting people on city streets. He argued that Trump was ignorant of Chicago's labor history and warned against turning the city into a fascist hub. Cusack praised Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for opposing the federal deployments and the National Guard, and he has repeatedly attacked Trump on X.
