Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order outlining how the city will work to resist the anticipated immigration-enforcement operation. The executive order "demands" that President Trump "stand down from any attempts to deploy the U.S. Armed Forces . . . in Chicago." It further provides that "no [Chicago Police Department] personnel shall be assigned joint law enforcement patrols, arrest operations, or other law enforcement duties alongside federal law enforcement, or military personnel, or National Guard units engaging in civil immigration enforcement." It also establishes the Protecting Chicago Initiative to coordinate the City's work "to promote the well-being and safeguard the rights of all Chicagoans in response to threats arising from the actions and inactions of the federal government."
