President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker should be thrown in jail “for failing to protect ICE officers” as Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in the Windy City continues to face opposition from state and local leaders. “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Johnson and Pritzker have pushed back against Trump’s efforts in Chicago and have also condemned the president’s move to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to the city. On Sunday, Pritzker responded to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s description of Chicago as a “war zone,” accusing the Trump administration of “making it a war zone.” “They need to get out of Chicago if they’re not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do,” Pritzker added. After Pritzker refused Trump’s request to deploy Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago, Texas National Guard troops arrived in Illinois earlier this week, ABC News reported. Mayor Johnson also took a step on Monday to impede ICE’s operations in the city, signing an executive order that creates “ICE-free zones,” The Daily Wire previously reported. “The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids,” Johnson said. Trump’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” a massive federal effort to crack down on violent crime and detain illegal immigrants that began last month, has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests in Chicago. The operation, however, has been met with fierce and sometimes violent opposition.

One of the drivers accused of ramming into the agents’ vehicles “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,” according to Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. The federal agents fired at the armed agitator, “who drove herself to the hospital to get care for her wounds,” McLaughlin said. The armed suspect, identified as 40-year-old Marimar Martinez, was on Border Patrol’s radar after she allegedly doxxed federal agents and threatened to “f*** those mother f***ers up.” After Martinez was released from the hospital, she was taken into FBI custody, according to the DHS. No federal agents were injured in the apparent attack, according to McLaughlin, who also accused the Chicago Police Department of refusing to assist federal law enforcement “in securing the area.” According to internal dispatch obtained by Fox News, Chicago Police Department officers were told by their chief of patrol not to respond to the incident. “PLEASE CHIEF OF PATROL NO UNITS WILL RESPOND TO THIS AS RELATED FROM 04-Oc5-2025/12:34:44…CALLER IS 1 OF APPROX 30 ARMED PATROL AGENTS (ICE) WHO ARE BEING SURROUNDED BY A LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE REQUESTING CPD,” a dispatch message said. The police department responded to the report, claiming that officers were on the scene “to maintain public safety.” “To clarify misinformation currently circulating, CPD officers did in fact respond to the shooting scene involving federal authorities on Saturday to maintain public safety and traffic control,” the department said. “The Chicago Police Department will always respond to anyone who is being attacked or is under the threat of physical harm,” the department added. “For incidents involving federal immigration enforcement, CPD supervisors will respond to the scene and determine the appropriate course of action in accordance with City law.” Fox News, however, quoted “two senior Chicago police sources” who said that the Chicago Police Department’s statement is “not true.” The ramming over the weekend was not the first time that federal immigration officers were targeted with vehicles in the Chicago area. Last week, illegal immigrants used their vehicles to target federal agents during enforcement operations, The Daily Wire reported.
