Chicago resident angered by liberal mayor's refusal to cooperate with ICE: 'Doesn't align with the people'

“We understand that we are in the middle of an invasion," said Chicago resident P Rae Easley on ‘Fox & Friends First.’

"I find it unconscionable that this administration would attempt to create not just division but fear within our public schools," Johnson said, referring to potential federal raids. He directed city departments to "stand firm and uphold the local ordinance" in compliance with the Illinois Trust Act, which prohibits local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration enforcement efforts.However, many residents feel the city’s priorities are misplaced. P Rae Easley, a Chicagoan and host of "Black Excellence Hour," voiced her concerns during a recent appearance on "Fox & Friends First," Thursday.  Madison is a production assistant for Fox News Digital on the Flash team.

"We understand that we are in the middle of an invasion," Easley said. "Every single person who came across that border came with an invoice on their back for the Chicago taxpayer."The financial burden has been a flashpoint for residents. Last December, the city faced backlash over spending more than half a billion dollars to shelter migrants through its New Arrivals Mission. That program became a heated topic at community meetings after Johnson revealed a billion-dollar budget shortfall.

"I got a great way what we can do with this budget," one resident said during a public meeting. "Let’s start with cutting off illegals getting free everything, free housing, free schooling, free food."
