Trump calls for Chicago mayor, Illinois governor to be jailed

Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump called for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to be jailed on Wednesday, accusing the two Democrats of failing to protect federal immigration officers.

Trump made the comments on his social media platform, claiming the officials failed to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel. "Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!" the President wrote on his social media platform.

The statements come amid tensions as Trump has ordered National Guard troops to Chicago, the nation’s third largest city, despite objections from both local and state officials.
