Johnson, Sigcho-Lopez hand out "ICE Free Zone" signs

Mayor Brandon Johnson and Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez on Saturday handed out hundreds of "ICE Free Zone" signs at the 25th Ward office.

The move comes days after Johnson signed the "ICE Free Zone" executive order, which prohibits ICE agents from using any city-owned property in Chicago.
