Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says, "Not my job"

Chicago’s Dem Mayor Defends Not Arresting Violent Sex Offenders, ICE Cleaned Up

In a stark confrontation with the media, Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson seemed unconcerned when confronted about a sex offender living in the city.

This individual was apprehended by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) amid an immigration enforcement operation initiated by the Trump administration.

ICE’s actions followed executive orders signed by former President Donald Trump, which sought to bolster immigration enforcement—a stark contrast to the policies rolled back by President Joe Biden in 2021.

These Democratic policies undid several key initiatives from Trump’s first term. Mayor Johnson, known for his criticisms of ICE’s operations, firmly argued that city officials weren’t responsible for apprehending the sex offender.
