Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order on Monday creating 'ICE-free zones' to prevent federal immigration agents from using city property for raids. The move responds to the Trump administration's 'Operation Midway Blitz,' which has led to over 1,000 arrests in Illinois. Tensions have escalated with reports of violence against federal agents.
