Chicago mayor vows to ‘resist’ ICE subpoena for records of applicants in city ID program used by immigrants – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

"Mayor Johnson believes in upholding the Welcoming City Ordinance,” spokesperson Cassio Mendoza said. “Turning over personal information would betray the privacy and trust of residents who participated in the program. Mayor Johnson will continue to resist any attempts by the federal government to violate the rights and protections of Chicagoans.”

You either comply with a subpoena, or you don’t. If you don’t, that’s a crime, right?

With the mess Chicago’s budget is one would think Johnson would be restraining on things at the moment but oh no he wants to spend more resources on the immigrants. The funny thing is the funding the immigrants take up also take away from the Chicago residents so who is Johnson representing, the immigrants or Chicago citizens? Just asking…

Johnson is obviously ‘itching’ to be like the Newark mayor. I would advise the mayors staff to resist his directives to commit federal crimes.

Mayor Conehead should consider trying to believe in Law across the board. Not just the laws he agrees with , like most Leftists do.

The left’s disgusting scam comes back to bite them. Freaking brilliant.
