Chicago Blocks Proposal To End Being A Sanctuary City

Well, if they want to continue to shelter and protect rapists, murderers, and child abusers then the Trump admin should make them the last to have ICE sweep in and pick up the criminal illegals. Oh, and maybe arrest some people for harboring/sheltering illegals

Chicago blocks proposal that’d allow law enforcement to cooperate with ICE on targeting criminal migrants

The Chicago city council on Wednesday blocked a proposal that would have allowed local law enforcement to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain migrants with a criminal record.

Chicago’s “welcoming city” ordinance, in compliance with the 2017 Illinois Trust Act, prohibits local law enforcement from participating in federal immigration enforcement.

Ald Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares wanted to change the ordinance to enable police to cooperate with ICE to target migrants who had been arrested for gang or drug-related activities or sexual crimes involving minors. Their measure received backlash from activist groups when they first introduced the measure in 2023.

It might be a good idea for ICE to just start getting warrants instead of detainers. Have a judge available to sign off quickly and go pick up the criminals, and, if they are let go, arrest the people who authorized letting them go.

Before Chicago officials voted down the proposed amendment, Jordan Kelly, a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and resident of 30th ward, spoke out against Lopez and Tabares’ proposed amendment.

“Self-hating cowards such as Ray Lopez and Tabares want to turn our city into a hell for migrants who are not only Latin, by the way. CAIR Chicago has 40-50 open asylum cases currently. What do we tell these people and families if we don’t remain a sanctuary? Plus, our economy cannot handle mass deportations,” Kelly said.

That’s weird: why would a member of CAIR, linked to Islamic terrorist groups, want to make sure that rapists, murderers, and gang members, and jihadis, remain in Chicago?

One resident who spoke at the city council meeting on Wednesday slammed Johnson

“Who are you loyal to? The American citizens in Chicago or the illegal immigrants in Chicago?,” the man said. “The sanctuary law that Brandon Johnson allowed has brought criminals, drug dealers, and now terrorists.”

The resident doesn’t actually think that the Elites will listen to the peasants, do they?

Johnson’s guidelines advise that if ICE should enter city property to “contact your agency or department’s designated attorney or general counsel for further guidance. Contact the highest ranking official or designated supervisor onsite and do not take any action until that person arrives.”

The guidance advises officials to demand copies of warrants, not to consent to ICE entering “any private or ‘sensitive’ locations,” but not to interfere with any search, even if refused. There are other recommendations, like taking notes and keeping contemporaneous written records.

Refusal to allow federal law enforcement in would constitute obstruction of justice. Seriously, why are Democrats so batguano insane over protecting illegals/fake asylum seekers who have broken the law, including when felonies?
