Mayor Johnson openly declares he is taking charge of the resistance in Chicago against federal agents. “I’m doing everything in my power to lead a resistance that is critical to defending our democracy and safeguarding our humanity.”

We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents’ constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing

I’m proud to stand with @GovPritzker and @ILAttyGeneral in filing a lawsuit to halt the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to our city. We reject any attempt to occupy Chicago and we will use every tool at our disposal to resist this federal overreach.

I’m excited to be in D.C. for CBC and speaking with my fellow Mayors, on the frontlines of this fight, to ensure our communities keep making progress. Black mayors across this country understand our assignment in this pivotal moment and we’re leading the way.

Yesterday, I got to spend time at the Rainbow Push Coalition supporting the Hope With Helping Hands event.   Over 3,000 bags of food was provided for 1,200 families in need. This is what community is all about!

We can't incarcerate our way into safer communities. We tried that already. It failed. We need to invest in people to build safer, more affordable cities. @MSNBC
