Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥

I want a city or state to use police to check ID of ICE. If they resist, arrest them and confiscate weapons.
