Chicago mayor creates ‘ICE-free zones’ to block federal agents from city property
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Monday prohibiting federal immigration agents from using city-owned property for immigration enforcement operations, as the Trump administration deploys National Guard troops to Illinois.
Johnson established the «ICE-free zones» — referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — as part of his Protecting Chicago Initiative, rejecting President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown and deportation rollout in the city.
«Today, we are signing an executive order aimed at reining in this out-of-control administration,» Johnson said during a news conference on Monday. «The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.»
As Chicago seeks to thwart ICE’s deportation efforts, Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker filed a lawsuit Monday, attempting to block the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Illinois.

«The Trump administration must end the war on Chicago,» Johnson said. «The Trump administration must end this war against Americans. The Trump administration must end its attempt to dismantle our democracy.»

During his remarks, Johnson accused the «extreme right» of refusing to accept the results of the Civil War, when slavery was abolished.
«They have repeatedly called for a rematch, but in the coming weeks, we will use this opportunity to build greater resistance. Chicagoans are clear that militarizing our troops in our city as justification to further escalate a war in Chicago will not be tolerated,» he said.
«The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War,» Johnson repeated during the news conference.
Johnson said Chicago would «not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents’ constitutional rights» or the Trump administration’s «disregard» for local authority.

«With this executive order, Chicago stands firm in protecting the constitutional rights of our residents and immigrant communities and upholding our democracy,» Johnson said.
Johnson has directed Chicago agencies and departments to identify spaces within the next five days that have been targeted during ICE raids and post a clear message to federal immigration officers that the city-owned property would not be used for immigration enforcement, including as a staging area, processing location or operations base.
«If the federal government violates this executive order, we will take them to court,» Johnson said, urging Trump to leave Chicago «the freak alone.»
Pritzker, long considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Sunday that he refused to comply with the Trump administration’s «ultimatum» to deploy Illinois National Guard troops, calling it «absolutely outrageous and un-American.»
«We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s invasion,» Pritzker said.

After Pritzker refused to deploy his own troops, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott authorized Trump to send 400 Texas National Guard members to Illinois and Oregon.
The White House ridiculed Pritzker on Monday for rejecting Trump’s deployment of national guardsmen to Illinois to combat crime.
«Chicago is descending into lawlessness and chaos because this slob cares more about boosting his anti-Trump creds on X than he does about making his city safe,» White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.

«Pritzker should be ashamed of himself,» she said.
The White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s comment request.

Exactly two years ago, Hamas terrorists stormed the Israeli border from Gaza, killing young families living on a small kibbutz and hunting down young people attending an outdoor music festival. The attackers killed more than 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages.
Fox’s Trey Yingst was on the scene several days after the massacre in Beeri. This is what he saw:
«The kitchen floors are stained with blood. People were home at the time. It was early in the morning on Saturday when Hamas militants stormed into their homes. The soldiers here tell us they found bodies that appeared to be executed. People with hands tied behind their backs, mothers holding their small children, bodies decapitated. Pure horror in this small town,» Yingst reported.
TWO YEARS AFTER HAMAS’ OCT. 7 MASSACRE, 48 HOSTAGES — DEAD AND ALIVE — REMAIN IN CAPTIVITY

Forty-eight hostages remain in Gaza. Twenty are believed to be alive. Aviva Siegel was held for 51 days, while her husband, Keith, was held for more than 400.
«When they came in to kidnap us, they shot us. And one of the bullets hit Keith. And it didn’t hit me because I was lucky, but it could have been different. And we were taken underneath the ground and we just didn’t have any air to breathe. And I really felt that it’s gonna be my last hours of my life,» Siegel told Fox News on the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks.
She remembers arriving in Gaza and seeing Palestinian families cheering and jeering at the wounded hostages.

«Everybody was just waiting for us. They knew we were coming. And we were taken immediately underneath the ground. And I’ll never forget the picture that I’ve got in my head of the terrorist, telling me to come down this ladder. It’s very narrow to go underneath the ground. I’m shaking. I’ll never forget his smile,» Siegel said on the second anniversary of the attacks and the start of her captivity.

Her husband Keith was kept in solitary confinement for six months.
«I was moved 13 times in 51 days while I was there. While Keith stayed there for 484 days, we were tortured, we were starved. They used to eat in front of us. I lost 10 kilos. Keith came home looking like a skeleton. He was just so thin. I couldn’t walk when I came back. I was so ill,» Aviva said.
Tens of thousands of Gazans have been killed in the aftermath by the Israeli military, which now controls 80% of the Gaza Strip. Israel says it does not target civilians but more than 90% of Gaza is now destroyed.

«I’m a witness to the Hamas terrorist touching the girls and doing whatever they wanted. I’m witness of the Hamas terrorists beating one of the girls that was with us and threatening her that they’re gonna kill her just because they thought she was lying,» Siegel said. «For me, it was like I was killed. For me not to be able to help them and to help Keith when he was tortured was the worst thing that I could go through. It was worse than when I was tortured. And I was tortured. I was pulled by my hair. I was pushed. I was starved. I was laughed at. I was threatened. I went to hell.»

El presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, resultó ileso tras ser atacado a balazos el auto en el que viajaba el martes por el sur del país en medio de protestas indígenas contra su gobierno. Lo informó la ministra de Ambiente y Energía, Inés Manzano.
“Aparecieron 500 personas y le estuvieron lanzando piedras (a la caravana) y, obviamente, también hay signos de bala en el carro del presidente”, dijo Manzano a la prensa.

Además, aseguró que el mandatario salió ileso. La caravana presidencial fue atacada cuando se trasladaba hacia la localidad andina de Cañar (sur) y luego Noboa participó de un acto público.
Hoy se cumple el día 16 de las protestas indígenas contra el alza del diésel y otros reclamos.
Videos difundidos por la presidencia muestran la escena desde el interior de uno de los vehículos cuando varios objetos chocan contra los vidrios y alguien al interior grita “agachen la cabeza”.

Otras imágenes del exterior muestran a un grupo de manifestantes, algunos de ellos indígenas con trajes tradicionales, que lanzan piedras y palos contra la caravana que pasa por la carretera seguida de una tanqueta y en medio del sonido de sirenas.
Los vehículos fueron atacados cuando se trasladaban hacia la localidad andina de Cañar, en el sur del país. Luego Noboa participó de un acto público en Cuenca.
“Un poco de vándalos”
Poco después, Noboa habló en un acto en la ciudad andina de Cuencia y dijo que no permitirá que “un poco de vándalos” le impidan trabajar.
En un discurso ante estudiantes, mencionó las ventajas del bachillerato técnico y la importancia de la visión moderna para informarse y debatir con miras a enfrentar desafíos.

“Hoy es el momento de optar por el futuro que queremos para nuestro país. Hoy es el momento de luchar por el desarrollo, pero hacerlo de una manera pacífica, de una manera inteligente y de una manera colectiva”, dijo.
Además, afirmó: “No sigan los malos ejemplos como los que en el camino nos querían parar para que no esté yo presente en este evento con ustedes y trataron de agredirnos”.

“Esas agresiones no se aceptan en el nuevo Ecuador, la ley aplica para todos”, dijo. Por ello, “no vamos a permitir que un poco de vándalos eviten que nosotros trabajemos por ustedes”, subrayó.
En videos que circulan en redes sociales se observa cuando manifestantes lanzan piedras contra la caravana presidencial y dañan varios vehículos.
Cuál es el origen de las protestas
El detonante de las protestas indígenas fue la eliminación, el 12 de septiembre, del subsidio al diésel, que elevó de 1,80 a 2,80 dólares el galón (3,78 litros) de ese combustible.
Los indígenas exigen restituir el subsidio, pero también bajar en tres puntos el impuesto al valor agregado (IVA) hasta el 12 %.
Ahora, como plataforma de su protesta, incorporaron su negativa a la consulta popular, prevista para el próximo 16 de noviembre en la que se preguntará sobre la posible instalación de una Asamblea Constituyente para redactar una nueva Constitución.
Noboa aseguró que el dinero que antes se destinaba el subsidio al diésel se entrega ahora de forma directa, a través de compensaciones e incentivos, a los sectores más vulnerables, y ya no se desvía a grupos delincuenciales.
“Hoy estamos golpeando al narcotráfico, a los traficantes de combustibles, a todos esos que le buscan el mal al Ecuador”, dijo Noboa en un discurso en la comunidad Sigsihuayco, en Cañar.
Los cortes de vías mantienen bloqueada la provincia andina de Imbabura, donde varios ciudadanos participaron en marchas en defensa de su libertad para trabajar. Los manifestantes impiden en ciertas ciudades que abran sus comercios, mientras locales como restaurantes y hoteles reportan pérdidas por cancelaciones de reservas de turistas y la falta de productos
