Earlier, we told you that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announced areas of his city were "ICE-free zones." Of course, he can't do that -- no city can be exempt from federal immigration laws, no matter how much Democrats want to make that happen.
Anyway, his "ICE-free zones" will work just as well as the "gun-free zone" that is the entirety of Chicago, which saw at least 30 people shot this weekend, five fatally.
At Least 30 Shot During Weekend In Democrat-Run Chicagohttps://t.co/t2O2oDagY1

At least five people were killed and 24 others were wounded in weekend shootings in Chicago as of Sunday.
The ages of the victims range from 16 to 62, according to police.
In the first shooting of the weekend, police responded to a person shot around 7:45 p.m. in the 900 block of West 85th Street and found a man inside an apartment with a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. His age was not released.
Officers searched the area and found another man of unknown age in the alley who was shot in the torso. The victim was taken to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Preliminary investigation indicated that both men were shot inside the apartment.
There were four additional shootings on Friday, multiple on Saturday and Sunday, and two in the early hours of Monday morning. One of those was also fatal.
"If this were a foreign army there would be F15 bombing runs in Chicago," wrote one person on X.
"Mostly peaceful weekend in Chicago," added another.

Mayor Johnson has a long history of attacking law enforcement. Back in September, he called the police a "sickness" that doesn't make cities safer. Johnson has also repeatedly blamed President Trump and red states like Indiana for Chicago's gun crime. He also said it was "unholy" to jail criminals.
During a press conference after nearly 60 people were shot over the Labor Day weekend, Johnson said, "We need the federal government to stop the endless flow of guns into our state and into our city. Chicago police officers have taken more than 24,000 illegal guns off the streets of Chicago since I’ve taken office—over 24,000 illegal guns. They have worked hard every single day to make our city safer, and they’ve made historic progress."
Funny how law enforcement wasn't a "sickness" when Johnson was using them to push for gun control, isn't it?
Johnson's information is, at best, outdated. Data from 2023 onward shows that most guns used in Chicago crimes come from the state of Illinois and not red states.
