Chicago's new Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson has sparked controversy by defending the city's sanctuary policies and creating 'ICE-free zones'. In interviews, he stated that he prioritizes protecting illegal immigrants and compared the Trump administration to 'tyranny and fascism', referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s warnings. Johnson's executive orders aim to restrict ICE operations in certain city facilities and areas, hindering federal immigration arrests and investigations. Critics argue that these policies burden American taxpayers and contribute to Chicago's high crime rates.
