"President Donald Trump has called for the imprisonment of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker as the pair fights ICE and National Guard troop deployments in the Windy City. In a short and sweet Truth Social snipe on Wednesday, Trump said: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers. Governor Pritzker also. Trump's post came two days after both Chicago and Illinois sued the White House in a bid to block the deployment of federal troops."
"The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against Trump and several other federal agencies and officials including the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem, the Department of Defense, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Despite the lawsuit, National Guard troops from Texas have started to lay down roots at an Army Reserve center in Illinois early Wednesday, the Associated Press reported."
President Donald Trump demanded imprisonment for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, accusing them of failing to protect ICE officers. Trump posted the statements on Truth Social and singled out both officials by name. Chicago and the state of Illinois filed a lawsuit seeking to block federal troop deployments to the city and named multiple federal agencies and officials in the complaint. National Guard troops from Texas have begun arriving at an Army Reserve center in Illinois, though their exact mission remained unclear. The deployments follow intense immigration enforcement activity and protests near a Broadview immigration building.
