Ex-police chief warns Chicago cops will get hurt because Mayor Johnson won’t help ICE

Retired police chief warns officers could be injured due to Brandon Johnson's non-cooperation policy

A retired Chicago-area cop expressed frustration with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s refusal to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"What's happening in Chicago and actually the state of Illinois, but I'll talk to you about Chicago, is they're under orders from the mayor not to cooperate with ICE. In fact, he famously said that the Chicago Police Department will never assist ICE, even if it's constitutionally required," Tom Weitzel, who was chief of police in Riverside, Illinois, told Fox News Digital.

Weitzel served as police chief in the Chicago suburb, less than an hour outside the city, from January 2008 to May 2021.

In July, Johnson vowed that his city’s police "will not ever cooperate with ICE." He also recently called ICE raids "terrorism," and described Trump’s America as looking like "if the Confederacy won."

To me, this is a sinister form of "defund the police," by making the working conditions so miserable by supporting criminals over cops, that cops leave and replacements can't be found. 9999hair out0000

Chicago still has cops?  I would have thought they all retired or sought employment elsewhere.

How low are the Chicago police lowering their standards to fill vacancies?

Reminds me of the 1960s/1970s when urban police departments had to hire the guys who were not good enough to fight in VietNam.
