<p><strong>Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proclaimed that he is “defending humanity” by resisting the Trump Administration’s efforts to restore law and order to the city with a federal law enforcement and National Guard surge.</strong></p>

<p>Johnson made the remarks during an interview on MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes, stating “To be very clear about what’s at stake and in order for our country to be a place of promise, hope, and opportunity for people around the globe who have called the city of Chicago their home, it is why we are so committed to ensuring that we’re protecting our democracy and defending humanity.”</p>

<p>Johnson further blurted that “What this president has instigated in what he has escalated is absolutely an egregious attempt to have complete control over all of our cities.”</p>

<p>On Sunday, Pritzker said that he would refuse to comply with the Trump administration’s “ultimatum” to deploy Illinois National Guard troops – calling it “absolutely outrageous and unamerican.” </p>

<p>“We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s invasion,” Pritzker, who is suing the Administration, continued.</p>

<p>The Governor also declared that the Trump administration is “the very same thing” as the Third Reich, just a week after declaring that it’s dangerous to label political opponents as ‘fascists.’</p>
