Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls on citizens to resist and defend the city against the National Guard.
Also, he’s lying. Chicago was not built by slaves.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is rallying the people to begin an insurrection, but of course, it is (D)ifferent. “Are you prepared to defend this land that was built by slaves and indigenous people?” the mayor asked, urging the people to “resist” the US National Guard, while of course, adding in divisive racial political rhetoric.
Rather than urging the people to band together toward peace, Brandon Johnson would like the people to fight American troops in favor of dangerous criminals. The federal government does not have the authority to deploy troops to prevent overall crime, however, the federal government can and will deploy troops to expel illegal migrants.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 4,775 people in the Chicago Area of Responsibility in the first four months of the year, which expands beyond Illinois to five neighboring states. As reported by ABC, 47% of those arrested has prior criminal convictions, and 35% were wanted for criminal charges. Only 18% of those arrested in that four-month period had no prior ties to criminal activity. The majority of the people deported from the Chicago area are Venezuelan or Mexican nationals who commonly have ties to criminal organizations. Chicago and Illinois in general has become a refuge for criminals as blue policies permit crime and favor the criminal over the common man.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continually praise the recent 30% drop in crime. Sorry, but the inner city is nearly an active war zone. Chicago had the most homicides in absolute numbers for 13 consecutive years. Yet, arrest rates remain extremely low at 16.2% despite 147,899 reported crimes since January 1, 2025. President Trump noted that Chicago’s murder rate was double that of Islamabad and nearly 15 times that of Delhi. There were 573 homicides in 2024, but blue lawmakers praise the 8% decrease from the 620 homicides in 2023.
What exactly does Johnson and the Democrats propose the people do to “fight” the National Guard? An insurrection is defined as “a violent uprising against an authority or government.” Johnson and Pritzker are stirring the pot and pushing the people to revolt to maintain power. They do not care about the safety of their constituents as their motives are purely political.
