Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) signed an executive order Monday establishing “ICE-free zones” while slamming enforcement agents as a “rogue” and “reckless group” that were “roaming throughout our city.”

The order, effective immediately, forbids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using “city-owned or controlled parking lots, vacant lots, and garages as staging areas, processing locations, or operations bases.”

In a press conference, Johnson said the directive was needed after agents recently used multiple city sites to coordinate immigration raids. “Such use of City property undermines community trust and runs counter to Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance,” Johnson’s office said.

At a press conference, Johnson accused federal agents of acting without accountability. “We have a rogue, reckless group of heavily armed, masked individuals roaming throughout our city that are not accountable to the people of Chicago,” he said. “If Congress won’t check this administration, then Chicago will,” Johnson added.

1. Arrest any thugs who won't show ID as trespassers

and escort them out of the city.

[Bluetus]

4. That's not enough

Under the Constitution any such arrest activity must be under a court-issued warrant.

And under Illinois law 720 ILCS 5/12-1, assault is defined as "when, without lawful authority, he or she knowingly engages in conduct which places another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery" In other words, if dressed in a threatening way and acting in a threatening way as part of an organization that has a pattern of battery, each of these ICE officers can be guilty of assault just by their very presence.

The city or state police should follow them, detain them and make sure they have specific court-ordered warrants, and are proceeding DIRECTLY to enforce those exact warrants and nothing else. If they are not reasonably in the act of enforcing a specific warrant and are acting in any way menacing, then arrest their asses for assault.

14. Exactly! (n/t)

[Shipwack]

16. This is the way. nt

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. Bravo!!!

Arrest any ICEhole that violates this EO.
What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
It's heartening to see our elected officials fighting back and taking it too this illegitimate and illegal regime.

[BattleRow]

5. Icehole?

PrICEless!

[JoseBalow]

10. Bastages!

[BattleRow]

11. Hilarious!

[Justice matters.]

23. ICEsis

Domestic terrorists.

[BattleRow]

28. ICEcapades escapades....

[TommyT139]

3. Budget Rental trucks are being used.

So if you're looking to rent a truck, look elsewhere.

[erronis]

9. Not only that, but I imagine that the trucks have been used as toilets - just like they abused the Capitol

Same group of thugs pardoned by trump - stand back and stand by.

Too bad so many other LE and military (ex and current) are of a similar mindset.

[TommyT139]

20. The rental trucks were used to hold captives

...both citizens and non-ciitizens, adults and children.

[erronis]

24. I've also seen photos of groups of RW thugs using rental trucks to go to protests.

I think I mixed up these two cases, however.

[Jilly_in_VA]

27. BOYCOTT BUDGET RENTAL VEHICLES!

Not just their trucks, their cars too! Hurt their business until they stop renting to the ICEholes!

[IbogaProject]

6. That apartment raid had a corrupt landlord behind it

Which presumablely is intended to drive the tenants out for redevelopment.

[erronis]

7. Are the Kushners on the take in Chicago also?

Bet they have to give a skim to El Crapo in Chief.

[Clouds Passing]

13. They did the same thing in Aurora, CO. It is being said the same MO in Portland.

I’ll try to find the link

[Clouds Passing]

15. Found a link which explains this "phenomenon"

Under The Desk News

[orleans]

21. wow! thanks for that link

[Clouds Passing]

26. Thanks for posting the video 😃

[William Seger]

8. ICE has recruited sadistic thugs and given them a license to commit assault on anyone they chose (nt)

[paleotn]

12. ICEholes need to be introduced to "the Chicago way"

[bluestarone]

17. This is a definite start.

I LIKE IT!!

[Talitha]

18. Does Chicago allow people to make a Citizen's Arrest?

Outnumber and surround Dump's goon squads, and hold them for the Police.

[MichMan]

22. Wouldn't a court issued warrant be required to make an arrest?

[FBaggins]

25. It doesn't really matter

Even police can't arrest a federal agent (assuming they're on the job) for violating a city ordinance... let alone just a mayor's executive order. Private citizens certainly can't.

[Mrsfiddlegirl]

19. Hmmm, I wonder...

I wonder how many of these thugs and operatives are staying at Drumpf’s hotel in Chicago with our taxpayer money going right into the grifters pockets?
