Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago called police to clear out city residents after a public forum during a Monday city council meeting became chaotic when attendees protested budget changes that would allocate more funding for illegal immigrants.
The Chicago city council voted to pass a budget proposed by Johnson after six weeks of negotiations only after police removed the vocal residents during a temporary recess, Fox News reported. Residents ripped city officials for seeking a $40 million loan as part of the city budget.
“He wants to pull a $40 million line of credit and put the city in even more debt,” one city resident said during a public comment period. “It’s your fault, because you gave half of the money to illegals.”
