Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson suggested to attendees at a church appearance that he will be firing several city employees within his administration. The musing reportedly stunned those in attendance at New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church on Monday night.

OEMC director Jose Tirado, COPA chief Andrea Kersten and Aviation Commissioner Jamie Rhee all announced Thursday they were leaving their positions. "If you ain't with us, you just gotta go," Mayor Brandon Johnson said about city staff on Monday.

Three top Chicago officials departed their positions Thursday at the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the Chicago Department of Aviation.
