ICYMI: Mayor Brandon Johnson Blasts Trump For Cutting $468 Million From ATF, Allowing Influx of Illegal Guns

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/mayor/press_room/press_releases/2025/september/trump-atf-cuts.html

“Why did Trump cut $468 million dollars from ATF’s budget in his nasty, signature bill? Why did he cut funding for the agency responsible for getting guns off our streets by 29%? Why did he cut 1,465 positions from an agency that is so critical to reducing gun violence? They cut funding from the agency that is actually stopping gun traffickers so that they could increase funding for ICE and Border Patrol,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson.

The City of Chicago welcomes meaningful partnerships with federal law enforcement as we continue to direct the full force of government towards driving down violent crime. Year to date, Chicago has recorded a 21.6% decline in overall violent crime, a 32.3% in homicides, a 31.9% decrease in robberies, and a 49% decrease in vehicular hijackings.

A major contributor to this progress has been CPD's Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) which opened in spring 2024 through a joint partnership with the ATF Chicago Field Office. The CGIC allows CPD to link guns to shootings and investigate crimes more quickly and directly address and disrupt the flow of guns into the city.
