Trump border czar Tom Homan said during a news conference Monday in New York that they are going to “flood the zone” of migrant sanctuary cities, or jurisdictions that are not cooperating with federal immigration officials. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says he's not intimidated. Gov. J.B. Pritzker said federal immigration officials are “attacking people in the city of Chicago."
