Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s comments came in response to President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago and other cities amid growing tensions over immigration enforcement. The mayor accused the administration of targeting urban communities and undermining constitutional protections.

“I want that to sit in right now,” Johnson said on Oct. 6. “Because the President of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago and people across America.”
