Chicago Mayor DEFENDS Gang Members, Calls Trump Unstable for ICE Raids

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling Trump an "unstable human being" for sending federal agents to arrest Venezuelan gang members in his city. Let that sink in for a moment. Nearly 300 ICE agents carried out a targeted operation against Tren de Aragua gang members, and Johnson's response? Pure outrage that someone dared to enforce immigration law in his sanctuary city.We break down Johnson's CNN meltdown with Wolf Blitzer, his claims about "militarized troops," and the shocking reality that he's more upset about ICE doing their job than actual gang members terrorizing Chicago residents. Meanwhile, cities like Memphis are welcoming federal help because their mayors understand basic public safety.So here's the million-dollar question: How exactly do you defend keeping foreign gang members in American communities? And why are Chicago residents supposedly "shocked and appalled" by the sight of law enforcement actually enforcing the law? The mental gymnastics are Olympic-level here, folks.
