So, apparently, defending federal law enforcement is now considered an invasion.
That’s the message coming straight out of Chicago, where Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson has proudly declared his city an “ICE-free zone” — because nothing says leadership like giving violent agitators more space to roam while handcuffing the people trying to stop the chaos.
Let’s break this down.
In a Monday press conference, Mayor Johnson took to the podium not to address Chicago’s surging violence, not to talk about carjackings, or the blood-soaked weekends the city can’t seem to shake. No, his top priority was making sure federal immigration officers don’t feel welcome in the Windy City. His exact words: “Reigning in this out-of-control administration.”
Translation: Protecting illegal immigrants and emboldening anti-ICE radicals is more important than protecting Chicagoans.
The new order, according to Johnson, blocks ICE from using city property or “unwilling” private businesses as staging grounds for deportation raids. Sounds like a sanctuary city on steroids. Just as the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” — a targeted crackdown on illegal immigration — ramps up, Johnson is rolling out the red carpet for lawlessness.

Over 1,000 arrests have already taken place in Illinois under the operation, and the response from the open-borders crowd? Blockades. Threats. Violence.
Yes, violence.
On Saturday, federal agents were rammed by multiple vehicles and trapped by a convoy of ten cars in Broadview. According to Homeland Security officials, the agents were attacked when they tried to exit their vehicle. One of the alleged assailants, Marimar Martinez, was reportedly armed with a semi-automatic weapon, forcing agents to respond with what DHS called “defensive shots.”

But here’s the real kicker: when the federal agents called for backup, Chicago Police were instructed to stand down.
Let that sink in.
Law enforcement is under siege, and the mayor’s office basically hits “decline” on the call.
Oh, and Marimar Martinez? According to an intelligence bulletin, she’d already been on federal radar after posting violent threats online — including a charming call to action for her “gang” to “f** those motherf***ers up.” But apparently, ICE is the problem here.
As the streets heat up, the Trump administration isn’t waiting around. The Department of War has announced plans to deploy 400 soldiers from Texas to Chicago and Portland, two cities where the combination of far-left leadership and unchecked unrest has created a powder keg.
Governor JB Pritzker responded to the announcement by suing the Trump administration, calling the troop deployment “Trump’s invasion.” Yes, the same governor who’s watched Chicago spiral into chaos is now more worried about military boots on the ground than the boots smashing in ICE agents’ windshields.
Trump JUST said he will invoke the Insurrection Act if Governors/Mayors refuse to enforce the law.
Well here is Illinois Governor, flanked by Chicago mayor, claiming they are going to drive ICE “thugs” out of Chicago.
This is an ACTUAL INSURRECTION!

To recap: federal agents are being hunted, local police are being told to do nothing, and political leaders are suing the people trying to restore order.
What started as a sanctuary city has now become an open challenge to federal authority. And while Democrats cry “overreach,” Americans are watching a city descend into mob rule.
This isn’t just a policy disagreement anymore. It’s a showdown.
And if you think this chaos stays in Chicago — think again.
