Chicago residents unload on 'most hated' mayor Brandon Johnson for crazy migrant spending
• https://www.dailymail.co, By WILL POTTERJohnson, 48, has endured a torrid tenure as Mayor since his election last year, with Chicagoans now sounding off on his handling of the migrant crisis and the huge taxpayer funds he has poured into the issue.
A lawsuit earlier this year revealed that from August 2022 to June 2024, over 42,000 migrants entered Chicago, and Johnson spent a staggering $400 million tackling the influx - with a huge percentage going towards private companies.
Fury over Johnson's approach reached boiling point Tuesday as residents had an opportunity to make their voices heard directly to the Democrat.
One exasperated woman told him: 'We're in a billion-dollar deficit, and you spent half of our money on illegals?'
She also cited Johnson's stated refusal to aid ICE in allowing Trump's mass deportation plan, saying: 'You all stood up there and said you will not allow Trump to come here and get these illegals... Trump, Tom Homan, make an example of this ne*** right here first.'
Johnson took issue with her use of the word 'ne***', and cut off her mic while telling her only to use 'appropriate' language.
When her mic was turned back on, the resident grew even more irate as she refused to be silenced by Johnson, barking back at him: 'Okay, now we're about to make y'all famous.'
Johnson stood with his hands in his pockets and grinned as Chicago residents fumed over his management of the crisis.
Speaking before the woman who had her mic cut off by the mayor, another man also laid into Johnson's stance on blocking deportations.
'You told Trump that you won't blink? Well, we ain't either,' he said. 'You're not above the law.
