Mayor Johnson warns Trump against deploying federal troops for immigration crackdown in Chicago
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson voiced concerns Monday about potential federal troop deployment to his city as part of former President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, warning the move could be unconstitutional and legally challenged. Speaking at a City Hall news conference, Johnson responded to reports of federal plans to escalate immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities like Chicago, calling the idea a threat to civil liberties and local governance. "It's just another example of his animus towards working people," Johnson said. "I think it's important that the president respects the Constitution. If you're asking me whether this president will work with city leaders, it's clear he's not interested in doing that." Johnson's remarks came in response to a statement from a Trump administration official to Rolling Stone, saying, "Chicago is next, if they go too far," in reference to recent protests and the city's sanctuary policies. "The second they do, the president is prepared to prove that nobody is above the law," the official added. The comments follow anti-ICE and anti-Trump protests in Chicago that echoed demonstrations nationwide, prompting federal officials to reportedly monitor the situation closely—especially after the Trump administration deployed National Guard forces to Los Angeles. "We will continue to resist," Johnson said. "Whether it's in the courts, in the streets, or through public policy, we're going to stand up for working people." Mary Richardson-Lowry, the city's Corporation Counsel, emphasized the legal limitations of such a deployment. "We believe it is a violation of the Constitution to deploy troops or National Guard absent authority under the Constitution," she said. Last week, Johnson called for Chicagoans to "rise up" against ICE and what he called immigration enforcement "terrorism." Chicago has received more than 51,000 migrants from the southern border since August 2022, many bussed from Texas under GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's relocation effort. The latest tensions come after Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker testified before Congress last week in defense of the state's sanctuary city policies. The mayor's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

LAUSD expands summer programs, offering online classes after ICE operations
On the first day of summer school in Los Angeles, student Dolores De La Torre is worried about some of her classmates. "It's honestly sad," she said. "They shouldn't be afraid." It comes after the ongoing immigration operations in Los Angeles. De La Torre said some of her friends are undocumented and will not attend summer programs at San Fernando High School. "Their parents don't let them come because of their safety," she said. Los Angeles Unified School District expanded its program sites from 220 to 320 this summer and will offer virtual instruction to address the fear. "These are difficult times," Carvalho said on Tuesday. "This is a school system that is morally driven to do the right thing." About 90,000 students enrolled in summer school, and 40,000 signed up for after-school programs such as sports and art. The district also offers transportation for students. Families, even those with kids who do not attend an LAUSD school, can pick up three meals a day for their children. "Sadly, many of them may receive the only food they will eat while in school," Carvalho said. Anyone 18 and younger can get a free lunch between noon and 1 p.m. at 20 LA County libraries. "I felt it was beneficial for the kids to get out of the house," parent Juan Velasquez said. The Board of Supervisors made resources available for anyone eligible because "regardless of immigration status, LA County residents have constitutional rights," the board said in a statement. LAUSD and county libraries said it's too early to know if ICE operations have impacted summer programs. Carvalho said federal officers have tried to access two schools in recent days but have been unsuccessful because of legal guardrails.
