Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed on Saturday that its clear President Donald Trump has declared war on his city and others. Johnson joined MSNBCs Ali Velshi on Saturday morning following the president not only deploying National Guard troops to the city, but also calling for Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) to be thrown in jail.
Velshi argued that Trump and others in his administration are confrontation seeking to justify the deployment of national troops to cities like Chicago. Trump said he was sending National Guard troops to Chicago in an effort to combat crime. Trump has also accused Johnson and Pritzker of not protecting ICE agents in Chicago. Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE Officers! Governor Pritzker also! Trump wrote on Truth Social this week.
Johnson claimed on Saturday that the president of the United States has declared war on Chicago and other cities, referring to ICE as Trumps privatized military.
Donald Trump has made it very clear that he has declared war on the city of Chicago. In fact, as youve indicated, he has to declared war against American cities across this country. And what he is promulgating is very clear, its unconstitutional, its illegal, its unnecessary, and its dangerous. And Im using every single tool thats available to me to defend the people of this fine city, Johnson said.
