Under the order, private businesses can choose to display signage indicating that ICE cannot enter without a warrant—thereby designating “their property as part of a city-wide network of community spaces that stand together in affirming the safety, dignity, and belonging of all of our residents,” the mayor said.

Johnson touted the order for building “a broad civic shield that limits the reach of harmful enforcement practices. It strengthens neighborhood solidarity and it reaffirms Chicago’s role as a welcoming city.”

    Tump is insane. If I were mayor or governor, there is no way in hell I’m risking my own safety for this. If he starts messing with elections, sure because he becomes a persistent threat even for me. Otherwise I’d wait it out

        I might not remember this correctly but didn’t he basically say “so if I declare a state of war I can postpone elections indefinitely?”. That is what I’m talking about. Everyone messes with elections to win, and even that fact he didn’t do 2 consecutive terms is kind of proof that he didn’t take it as far as he would have liked. That is fine-ish: it’s very damaging, but at least it has an end date and could be never elected again. But when he postpones elections, now you are In real trouble, because the ONLY option is a revolution

        Have you killed any ice agents? No? Why not? Don’t tell me you are scared.

        What would it take for you to risk you life for your job?

          You’re scared, and that’s okay. Don’t try to wriggle free. Just accept who you are and know that there are others who are much more brave.

            Oh. Of course I’d be scared. I think that the people demanding this form others are hypocrites. If you haven’t risked your life opposing ice, you have no right demanding others do so

      If you aren’t willing to do that you have no business being a mayor or governor. Protecting the people you represent comes with the gig.

        Protecting? Yes

        Risking your life? No

        That said, if you postulate to mayor now that trump is in power, you should expect thing to get violent
