Chicago mayor orders police not to cooperate with federal troops or agents amid Trump's planned immigration crackdown
[NYPOST] Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson ordered city police not to cooperate with federal agents and military troops as President Trump prepares to flood the area to conduct sweeping immigration raids.

The Democratic mayor, a vocal critic of the president, signed an executive order Saturday directing local law enforcement not to assist immigration agents and the military, including the National Guard, with patrols, arrests or operations if they are deployed to the Windy City.

“We do not have the luxury of time,” Johnson said at a press conference, flanked by other city leaders.

#5  believe that constitutes obstruction.

The states can just ignore the Fed's requests and not aid them and it is legal. Now if they impede or aid illegals... now that is against the law and government officials have been arrested by Trump's DOJ for it.

Much emphasis should be placed here.

#1  Trump touts ‘worker-first’ economy on Labor Day as internet speculation of his whereabouts spirals

"President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy, which is why he’s championed an agenda that always puts them first — from signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history to securing nearly $10 trillion in new investments to create high-paying jobs across our country," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News.

#2  Lying to your constituents in an obvious way is disdainful.
