CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Denounces Trump's Threat to Withhold Funds from Sanctuary Cities
In response to President Donald Trump's latest threat to withhold federal funds from so-called sanctuary cities, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has issued a strong statement denouncing the move.
The mayor called Trump's announcement "blatantly unconstitutional and immoral" and vowed to fight relentlessly until every dollar that has been withheld by the administration is restored. He emphasized that these funds belong to the people of Chicago, not the president.
According to Mayor Johnson, Chicagoans pay billions in federal taxes and it is high time that they receive their fair share from the government. He criticized Trump for prioritizing spending on his personal militarized forces in C.B.P. and I.C.E. and benefiting his corporate donors instead of investing in crucial areas such as healthcare, education, and job creation.

This latest clash between the city of Chicago and the Trump administration highlights the ongoing tension between sanctuary cities and the federal government's immigration policies. It remains to be seen how this conflict will unfold in the coming days.
