The order aims to protect immigrant communities and maintain trust between them and local law enforcement, which johnson argues is critical for public safety and effective policing.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson accused the right wing of refusing to accept the outcome of the Civil War and called on the Trump administration to end what he termed a &#8220;war&#8221; on Chicago and attempts to dismantle democracy.President Donald Trump, simultaneously occurring, has deployed National Guard troops to Chicago and hinted at perhaps invoking the Insurrection Act if needed to address crime and unrest, describing the situation as comparable to a war zone.
