Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order to counter plans to send federal agents into the city. Key US politics stories from Saturday 30 August at a glance
Resistance is growing to Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown, with the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, signing an executive order to counter the president\u2019s move.
The order prevents the Chicago police department from collaborating with federal authorities on patrols, immigration enforcement, or conducting traffic stops and checkpoints. It also restricts officers from wearing face coverings to hide their identities.
Johnson has accused the president of \u201cbehaving outside the bounds of the constitution\u201d and of being \u201creckless and out of control\u201d, while the White House insists the potential flood of federal agents is about \u201ccracking down on crime\u201d.
\u201cIf these Democrats focused on fixing crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts to criticize the president, their communities would be much safer,\u201d said White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson.
