The pair's exit follows former Vice Chair David Hogg's exit from the DNC earlier in June after choosing not to run for re-election.RANDI WEINGARTEN, LEE SAUNDERS QUIT DNC IN LATEST BLOW TO DEM PARTY LEADERSHIP"I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more and more of our communities," Weingarten wrote in a letter dated June 5 to DNC Chair Ken Martin explaining her departure.Conservatives and other critics slammed Weingarten and her leadership over AFT, while also resurrecting footage from Saturday of Weingarten's speech slamming Trump while jumping up and down in an animated manner.PHOTOS: SEE THE ANTI-TRUMP VIOLENCE THAT HAS UNFOLDED ON LA'S STREETS ACROSS THE LAST WEEK"You are the community to this president's chaos, and together we build a future of opportunity and justice for all," Weingarten said during her "No Kings" remarks in Philadelphia. "Hope over fear, aspiration over anger. The promise of America for each and every American, that is what we are fighting for today."Some on social media called footage of her Saturday speech a "meltdown," while others rehashed how Weingarten pushed to shutter schools during the pandemic."DEMOCRATS: The Democrat Party just lost the support of the nation's second largest Teachers Union led by Randi Weingarten. The DNC board member and superdelegate resigned from the party the day after she led the nationwide 'No King's protest. The Democrats are in complete disarray as they can't decide who to support much less what they stand for..." X account Amuse posted, accompanied by a clip of Weingarten's speech.ANTI-TRUMP MILITARY PARADE DEMONSTRATIONS PUT MAJOR CITIES ACROSS AMERICA ON HIGH ALERT"Randi Weingarten has RESIGNED from the DNC after 23 years of wrecking American education. This is the same woman who kept your kids masked, locked classrooms, and turned schools into activist training camps. The damage she caused wont be forgotten but her exit is the first sign the rot is being scraped out. One radical down... a whole party to go," another conservative X account posted."JUST IN: Randi Weingarten steps down from the DNC. This comes after her massive meltdown at the No Kings protest," one critic posted to X, accompanied by the footage."Randi Weingarten's resignation from the DNC post- No Kings protest meltdown reflects deepening divisions within the Democratic Party," another conservative X account posted."This was Randi Weingarten yesterday at the No Kings protest.

Its about strong public schools, supporting working families, and our fundamental freedoms . This day of action is about making our democracy work for all. Its about we the people not just about responding to whats wrongits about building something better," she posted to X June 10.The "No Kings Day" protests were held on the same day as Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, which also fell on the president's birthday and Flag Day. An estimated 1,500 "No Kings Day" protests unfolded across the nation, including in Los Angeles, which has been rocked by violent anti-Trump and anti-ICE riots since June 6, when federal law enforcement officials converged on the city to conduct immigration raids.Protests in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, spiraled into violence Saturday. Four law enforcement officers were injured during a riot in Portland, while law enforcement in Los Angeles were forced to deploy tear gas, flash-bangs and a dispersal order, with the LAPD citing "people in the crowd (were) throwing rocks, bricks, bottles and other objects" at officers.Fox News Digital reached out to the AFT for additional comment from the union and Weingarten regarding the DNC departure and negative conservative reactions but did not immediately receive a reply.Fox News Digital's Deirdre Heavey and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

Chicago city clerk Anna Valencia suspended the online application method of obtaining CityKey IDs after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent a subpoena to her office for the information of applicants.As the Trump administration continues its efforts to deport an unprecedented wave of illegal immigrants allowed to enter the country during the Biden administration, it faces resistance from local officials. Leaders of particularly Democratic-leaning cities like Chicago are some of the most outspoken about their efforts to protect illegal immigrants from being deported.Valencia announced Friday that her office would take the CityKey online portal offline, the Chicago Tribune reported. CityKeys are a local government-issued form of ID that is accessible to Chicago residents regardless of their immigration status, gender identity, or criminal history. Her decision to suspend the online application portal occurred after ICE subpoenaed her office for the information provided by noncitizens, in their mission to pursue illegal immigrants.The Chicago Tribune noted that when the municipal ID program was first introduced in 2017, it was intended to skirt public records law and protect personal information by only processing applications in-person.'BOGUS CLAIMS': BLUE CITY MAYOR UNDER FIRE FOR TRYING TO HALT REOPENING OF ICE FACILITYHowever, as the migrant crisis spiked in the subsequent years, the city created an online portal to process applicants; documents that the office is not allowed to destroy under public records law.Responding to advocates alarmed at the online retention of documents that could be used by ICE, Valencia paused that aspect of the program."We did hear, Lets pause the online platform temporarily as we take a pulse and evaluate whats happening,'" Valencia told the Tribune. "Were going to assess whats happening daily and where the climate is, and if we feel we are in a different place, we can easily turn the online platform back on, but we are not going anywhere."In May 2024, the City Council signed off on a new amendment to the municipal code that added, "Information provided by Applicants utilizing the online platform to obtain a City of Chicago ID will be stored.""Listen, Ive always been honest and transparent and led with integrity," Valencia told the Tribune, referencing online warnings about records retention. "I know theres a lot of fear out there, so I want to be very clear that were going to fight giving over any data to the federal government No data was given over to ICE, period, zero, for the CityKey."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I want to go back to the original problem, that if this Trump administration wasnt overreaching for private peoples data, this would not even be a conversation," Valencia said. "This is Trump doing a witch hunt and intentionally trying to instill fear in people so that they can overtake our democracy."The city says it does not have to comply with ICE's administrative subpoena, but if ICE comes back with a court order it could set off a legal battle.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPICE and Valenciadid not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
