"Your threats to invade Chicago and Illinois and declaring a war on the rights and freedoms of citizens by ordering masked men in unmarked cars and vans to kidnap men, women and children and harass the people on our street without representation or due process simply by naming them criminals without evidence or proof. Well, the real criminal with 34 felonies sits behind a golden desk ordering chaos. Mr. Trump, you have met your match."

STORYLINE:
Faith leaders gathered in Chicago Monday to voice their resistance to President Donald Trump’s plans to send federal immigration agents and National Guard troops in Chicago.
They chanted "Faith over fear! Faith over fear! We don’t need your troops over here!"
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump has amplified his promises to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to Chicago by posting a parody image from “Apocalypse Now” featuring a ball of flames as helicopters zoom over the nation’s third-largest city.
“‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning,’” Trump wrote on his social media site. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.”
Rami Nashashibi, Executive Director, Inner City Muslim Action Network, called him a "sick and evil man."
"And don’t think he’s just talking about smelling deportations," he said. "He’s talking about smelling mass incarceration. I’m sure he loves the smell of mass misery."
Trump has repeatedly threated to add Chicago to the list of other Democratic-led cities he’s targeted for expanded federal enforcement, including Los Angeles and Washington — marking the latest flashpoint in a broader national struggle over how far the federal government can push local authorities to cooperate with its immigration agenda.
Details on the expected intervention have been sparse, including its focus and when exactly it’s expected to begin, though Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that federal law enforcement action will come to Chicago this week.
