Statement from Congressman Jesús "Chuy" García on Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Congressional Testimony

March 5, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C.- Congressman Jesús "Chuy" García (IL-04) issued the following statement: "Chicago is a city of immigrants, established by immigrants. It’s a city where families come to build a better life, just like my family did 60 years ago. That’s why I fought to make Chicago a sanctuary city—the first in the country. “Republicans are making a reality show out of tearing families apart while refusing to fix our broken immigration system. No one should live in fear for simply trying to provide for their loved ones. “Trump will never tell the City of Chicago what to do. Our city will never change its values and who we are as a city. Chicago will not be intimidated. We’ve stood strong before, and we’ll stand strong again. I expect Mayor Johnson to make that clear in Washington today.” # # # Issues : Chicago Immigration
