On Monday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-Free Zones.” Now, he’s calling on police to arrest ICE officers who he feels are violating that order.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

From Breitbart:

On Monday, Johnson signed a dubious executive order creating “ICE-Free Zones” to ban federal agents from using city-owned properties as staging areas for immigration enforcement.

…

Now, the mayor is claiming that violations of his orders are a “crime” and those who break those rules “should be charged.”

“It’s a crime. Here’s the thing, anyone who commits a crime should be charged,” Johnson said on Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. “I mean, isn’t that the basic rule of what they ostensibly refer to as ‘law and order?’”

The Mayor’s actions come amid rising nationwide anti-ICE sentiment. Breitbart notes that President Trump has spoken out against this, suggesting that “the anti-ICE actions by Chicago’s leaders are akin to an insurrection against the federal government.”

Despite the Mayor’s orders, Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling seems less than willing to arrest federal law enforcement. He reportedly told the press that the CPD has no duty to interfere in ICE activities, saying, “We do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents. We don’t have to agree with it. It doesn’t matter.”

Around the nation, anti-ICE sentiment is at an all-time high. In fact, Chicago police were recently told not to assist ICE officers that were boxed in by protestors. In light of this, IFA held a prayer call Tuesday evening to intercede for the men and women serving in ICE, as well as the leaders like Mayor Johnson that are determined to oppose them.

As violence against and hatred toward ICE officers continues to increase, let’s remember to pray without ceasing for law enforcement!
