Chicago Mayor Signs Executive Order To Start ‘ICE Free Zones’

Well, if you thought Chicago couldn’t get any more chaotic, Mayor Brandon Johnson just looked at the smoldering mess and said, “Hold my iced soy latte.”

That’s right — as violent street mobs attack federal agents, as the city reels from rising crime, and as immigration enforcement is literally being boxed in and rammed by ten-car posses in broad daylight, the top priority for Chicago’s Democratic leadership is… declaring the city an ICE-free zone.

You read that correctly. Amid what can only be described as a coordinated assault on law enforcement, the mayor’s response is to roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants — and to kick ICE to the curb. According to Johnson, the real problem isn’t the violent criminals or the armed anarchists — it’s those pesky federal agents trying to do their jobs.

No city resources, no private staging areas, no cooperation. “ICE-free zones” are now the law of the land in the Windy City. Translation: if you’re in the country illegally, Chicago is your get-out-of-jail-free card. But if you’re wearing a badge and following federal law? Don’t expect
backup.

Let that sink in.

Because while this theatrical press conference was going on — with Johnson wagging his finger at Trump and calling the federal government “out of control” — actual ICE agents were being physically attacked just a few miles away. On Saturday, in Broadview, Illinois, a squad of federal agents was cornered by ten cars. Boxed in. Trapped. And when they tried to get out, one of the attackers — a woman named Marimar Martinez — was allegedly armed with a semi-automatic weapon.

And no, this isn’t a scene from some dystopian action movie. This happened. In America. In Chicago. Under the watch of a mayor who’s more interested in protecting political optics than public safety.

When the agents called for help, guess who didn’t show up? Chicago police. Why? Because they were instructed to stand down. Let’s just pause on that — federal agents under violent assault, and the local police are told not to intervene. You can almost hear the shrug from city hall: “Well, you shouldn’t be enforcing the law in the first place.”
