Chicago mayor tells police to probe allegations of illegal activity by immigration agents

By Kalea Hall

DETROIT, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order directing the city's police department ​to investigate any alleged illegal activity by federal immigration ‌agents and refer the agents for prosecution if necessary, his office said Saturday.

"With today’s ‌order, we are putting ICE on notice in our city. Chicago will not sit idly by while Trump floods federal agents into our communities and terrorizes our residents," Johnson wrote in a statement.

The order instructs ⁠Chicago police officers to ‌preserve body-camera footage from incidents and identify the federal supervisory officer on scene. Chicago officers are also supposed ‍to complete reports on any state or local laws allegedly violated by federal agents.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a ​request for comment.
