Various Aldermen of Chicago responded to the challenging attitude of Mayor Brandon Johnson in relation to the immigration policy of the Trump administration.
The aldermen were asked whether Johnson and city officials listened to the votes of voters about this issue.
“Absolutely not,” Alderman Nick Sposato told Fox News Digital. “The mayor is a friend of mine. He is a way from the left. I’m a lot good. I don’t know why he doesn’t listen to the people. I have to believe that the majority of people do not want these bad people to be protected our city and our state and our country. “

Their frustration has been shown at various municipal council meetings where they complained about one Proposed tax increase To tackle the budget deficit of the city, while the city spends more than half a billion dollars on sheltered migrants.

Despite the return of residents, Johnson criticized ICE and the Trump administration After they started to arrest illegal immigrants in the city last month.
Alderman Ray Lopez said that Johnson only cares about the opinions of “hyper-liberal white progressives” who live in Chicago.
“He is not worried about Afro-Americans, he is not worried about Latinos and he is absolutely not worried about Mexicans without papers who will bear most of his actions,” he said. “He plays the game of chicken with their lives, and it’s disgusting.”
A few weeks ago, the Chicago Lopez city council blocked Lopez’s proposal that local law enforcement would have enabled to help migrants hold on to a criminal record.
