Mayor Brandon Johnson said Wednesday he intends to make Chicago the nation’s first city to hold ICE and Border Patrol agents accountable for alleged criminal conduct. “This is not about politics. This is about a more fundamental idea that, in our country, nobody is above the law. There is no such thing as absolute immunity in America,” Johnson said. “If you commit a crime, you should be tried like anyone else, regardless of the badge on your chest or the mask on your face.” #Chicago #ICE #immigration Get a fast-paced look at the latest from the border to Main Street to the White House on "NewsNation Live" with Nichole Berlie.
