Chicago Resident Launches Effort to Recall Mayor Brandon Johnson

“There are a lot of people who are just trying to get by,” he said. “Now these migrants are being handed everything but they can’t work right now because they don’t have work permits,” he said

A Chicago resident cites a rampant crime wave and illegal immigration as just a few of his reasons for initiating an effort to recall Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“We have crime throughout all of our neighborhoods, but with armed thugs walking the streets,” Dan Boland, founder of the Recall This Fall initiative, told The Epoch Times. “Yet some of our aldermen are calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, but they’ve never called for a ceasefire in their own ward.”

He pointed to Alderman Bryon Sigcho-Lopez, an ally of Mr. Johnson—one of the six members of the Democratic Socialist Caucus block of the Chicago City Council—who appeared with pro-Palestinian protesters after they had burned an American flag.

These ideological pursuits—which include the recent Chicago City Council’s vote to approve the mayor’s request for $70 million to be doled out for illegal immigration—ignore Chicago residents who have lived in the city their whole lives, he said." . . .
