Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has never been a very big fan of President Trump, but what else do you expect in this day and age? Lightfoot is a Windy City Democrat, after all, and her disdain for Donald Trump likely comes naturally.
But, given some of the violence that we’ve seen in Chicago as of late, perhaps Ms. Mayor should be focusing on something other than demeaning the President. In fact, things have gotten so bad in the Windy City, that the federal government is in the early stages of sending federal troops to monitor the city.
Lightfoot was not pleased with that call.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) on Wednesday threatened to sue the Trump administration if federal law enforcement agents step out of line following President Trump’s announcement that he is expanding government law enforcement operations to the crime-plagued city.
“I’m calling on all Chicagoans that if you see something that doesn’t like right, please, don’t hesitate to report it,” Lightfoot said during a press conference. “We are going to remain diligent, and if we see any steps out of line, particularly with DHS or Border Patrol, we are not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions.”
The threat comes just days after the city of Portland sued the federal governments over the actions of these so-called “secret police”, who the Trump administration has now explained being to the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol.
