We speak to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson as President Trump singles out the city as a training ground for the military and National Guard deployment. Militarized federal agents from the FBI and Border Patrol have already joined ICE agents for a city-wide crackdown against immigrants and protesters. Felony charges have been brought against protesters at ICE's Broadview detention center. This is yet another example of how this president is militarizing forces, ultimately with the goal to occupy cities," says Johnson, who calls Trump's threats a political stunt" and an affront to democracy."
