Several Chicago councilors responded to the challenging position of Mayor Brandon Johnson towards Trump administration immigration policies.
The councilors were asked if Johnson and the city officials were listening to the voices of the constituents on the subject.
“Absolutely not,” said Councilor Nick Sposato to Fox News Digital. “The mayor is a friend of mine. He is on his way to the left. I am very good. I don’t know why he is not listening to people. I have to believe that most people do not want these bad people protected our city and our state And our country. “
In recent years, frustration among residents has continued to grow in the management of Johnson of an influx of migrants to the city. His frustration has been shown in several meetings of the City Council where they complained about a Proposed tax increase To address the city’s budget deficit, while the city spends more than half a billion dollars to take refuge migrants.

Despite the reaction of residents, Johnson criticized ICE and the Trump administration After they began to stop illegal immigrants in the city last month.
Councilor Ray López said that Johnson only cares about the opinions of the “hyperliberal white progressives” living in Chicago.
“He is not worried about African Americans, he is not worried about Latinos, and is not absolutely concerned with undocumented Mexicans who will endure the worst part of their actions,” he said. “He’s playing chicken game with his lives, and it’s disgusting.”
A few weeks ago, the City of Chicago blocked López’s proposal that would have allowed the Local Police to help ICE stop migrants with a criminal record.

“Why would we not allow them to be deported, especially if they are guilty of the crimes they are accused of?” Said Councilman Brian Hopkins Fox News Digital. “He believes that he is such a strong defender of human rights, regardless of his state of citizenship, that if you are here and you are not a citizen and you are committing atrocious crimes, he wants to protect you.”
Two illegal migrants were accused of the murder of a 63 -year -old man whose body was found tied to His Chicago house on Sunday. This happened on the same day that Trump’s border tsar, Tom Homan, directed an immigration application operation in the city.

“I have Venezuelan gangs: the Aragua train and all the rest of them here fighting my residents, fighting local businesses, fighting even against the undocumented long -term undocumented who have made their home, causing chaos and dangerous situations in the streets here “. López said. “Now it is important to visit this problem again and do what we can do to work with our federal partners to get rid of these bad actors who are here in our communities and in our city.”
Johnson’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
