Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday signed an order to establish what officials say is an “ICE free zone” in the city in a bid to prevent cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The order, according to the Democratic mayor’s office, is designed to block federal immigration officials from using City of Chicago-owned property in their investigations into illegal immigrants in the city’s jurisdiction.
