Chicago officers defying Mayor Lightfoot's vaccine mandate: 'Everybody up in arms across the board'

John Catanzara, president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, said Friday Chicago Mayor Lightfoot’s vaccine mandate is "absolutely wrong" and instructed other officers not to comply.

The mandate takes effect Friday and requires all police officers to be vaccinated or get tested for COVID-19 twice a week. Police are required to provide their vaccination status to the city by the end of the day. 

On "Fox & Friends," Catanzara estimated about half of his officers have been vaccinated, but he said even those who have received the vaccine agree that a mandate is wrong. 

He told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that the mandate was Lightfoot’s decision and not something the public had called for.
