President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to be thrown behind bars for opposing federal support to fight crime in the Windy City.

“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect [ICE] Officers! Governor Pritzker also!” Trump wrote in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115338509988551290">post on Truth Social</a>.

Trump’s threats have added to the already escalating tension between the president and the two leaders as the Texas National Guard has arrived in the state as part of the administration’s crime-fighting and illegal immigration crackdown.

Trump had previously called Chicago a “hellhole” of crime and threatened for weeks to send in National Guard troops.

FBI Director Kash Patel revealed on Wednesday that the city has 110,000 gang members. The city also had 1,200 shootings and 360 homicides this year alone, according to Patel.

"We are taking the juggernaut that is demolishing the weaponization of law enforcement and bringing it to places like Chicago,” Patel said during an <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1975734357580288380">interview on Wednesday.</a>

Violent crime in the city has dropped notably in recent years, but it remains a persistent localized problem. Some neighborhoods with the highest homicide rates, including on the city’s south and west sides, have 68 times more homicides than those with the lowest rates, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab.

The city reported 573 homicides in 2024, the most of any U.S. city that year, according to the Rochester Institute of Technology. At the same time, violent crime dropped significantly in the first half of the year, representing the steepest decline in over a decade, according to city data. In the first six months of 2025, total violent crime dropped by over 22 percent compared to the same time period last year.

Both the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois oppose the federal response, and Johnson and Pritzker have doubled down on their efforts to fight crime on their own.

The two leaders urged a federal judge to stop “Trump’s long-declared ‘War’” on the state and a court hearing on their legal action against the Trump administration is scheduled for Thursday.

The mayor and governor issued separate responses to Trump’s threat.

“This is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested,” Johnson<a href="https://x.com/ChicagosMayor/status/1975919646701211684"> wrote on X.</a> “I’m not going anywhere.”

Pritzker also said he won’t back down and suggested that the president has threatened them for questioning his power.

“Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power,” the governor <a href="https://x.com/GovPritzker/status/1975919735867953462">wrote on X</a>. “What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson declined to say what crimes the president believed Pritzker and Johnson had committed. Johnson suggested the leaders “have blood on their hands,” citing local police statistics that at least five people were killed and 25 shot over the weekend.

“Instead of taking action to stop the crime, these Trump-Deranged buffoons would rather allow the violence to continue and attack the President for wanting to help make their city safe again,” Jackson said.

Clashes have erupted between protesters and federal immigration agents outside a detention center in the village of Broadview outside Chicago. Thirteen people were recently arrested near the facility that has been frequently targeted during the Trump administration's immigration enforcement crackdown.

The federal surge of immigration enforcement called “Midway Blitz” began in early September. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the operation has resulted in more than 1,000 immigration arrests so far.
