In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons - Ask Chicago’s Mayor: February 2026

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Jan. 31 instructing Chicago police to document alleged abuses by federal immigration agents and refer wrongdoers to the Cook County State’s Attorney for prosecution. State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke questioned the order’s legality, calling it “wholly inappropriate,” and Mayor Johnson walked back his order on Tuesday, saying officers would still document alleged misconduct but would not refer cases to the county’s top prosecutor. Mayor Johnson answers questions from listeners and host Sasha-Ann Simons about that and other topics. For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
