Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago dismissed a reporter’s question Tuesday about a sex offender in the city arrested by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during an illegal immigration crackdown by the Trump administration.
ICE arrested and deported hundreds of illegal aliens charged with crimes after President Donald Trump signed multiple executive orders to strengthen immigration enforcement and rescinded orders issued by former-President Joe Biden in 2021 that reversed policies Trump put in place during his first term. Johnson, who has criticized the ICE operations, argued it wasn’t city officials’ job to arrest the sex offender.

“Tom Homan showed up in Chicago and within 24 hours found a convicted sex offender who has been living in our city since 2009, flouting the sex offender registry. If he can do this, why can’t you?” the reporter asked Johnson.
