After signing an executive order designed to protect the rights of protesters on Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson answered questions from the press. He pushed back passionately against federal intervention. 

Johnson defended local efforts to reduce violence and uplift disinvested communities. “No one has asked me to send troops. We’re driving violence down—and doing it our way.”
