Another finding was that Chicago police should be required to conduct their own internal review, according to multiple reports.

Police said they had arrived on scene in the South Loop on June 4 in response to 911 calls regarding a protest against ICE operations – and that they had simply acted in a capacity to ensure public safety.

Ten people who had gone to a federal office for routine immigration check-ins were detained by the feds that day, according to the Chicago-Sun Times.

Several aldermen also showed up after reports of the sudden detentions.

"We saw a number of community residents, family members and neighbors eagerly awaiting to find out the status of their family members who had been detained at this facility," Ald. Anthony Quezada told the paper.

However, ICE told the ABC affiliate at the time that all those detained were subject to "executable final orders of removal" issued by immigration judges and had failed to comply.

Three aldermen, including Quezada, reportedly sat on the ground and blocked an ICE van from egress during the chaos.

Johnson has come under fire from several corners over his leadership of the Windy City, including on the subject of illegal immigration.

The Wall Street Journal recently dubbed him "America's Worst Mayor," and he has often sparred with the Trump administration.

During a recent press conference, Johnson characterized President Donald Trump as a neoconfederate and a dictator, and suggested he is a racist.
