Johnson said the order makes Chicago the first city in the nation to pursue legal accountability for alleged misconduct by federal immigration agents.
He accused federal immigration agents of violating constitutionally protected rights, destabilizing communities and provoking life-threatening confrontations while "remaining insulated" from local or civilian oversight.
The mayor said the order establishes clear procedures for CPD officers to follow if they witness or receive reports of federal agents engaged in illegal activity.

In another local incident, Marimar Martinez was shot multiple times by a federal Border Patrol after authorities said agents returned defensive fire following an alleged vehicle collision.
Johnson also referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents fatally shot both individuals during separate enforcement operations.
