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

Ald. Ray Lopez of the 15th ward and Ald. Jessica Tabares of the 26th ward first introduced the measure in 2023..

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.

The two officials saw their proposed amendment get struck down by a 39-11 vote.

...

Trump’s border czar pick, Tom Homan, pledged to go after Chicago with strict enforcement, vowing to verify the status of asylum seekers and arrest anyone providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants.

Dems: “No one is above the law except criminal illegal alien gangsters, illegal aliens in general, BLM rioters, CHAZ secessionists, and leftist protesters in general.”

No more federal funds for the city effective 1/20, noon. Starve them of their lifeblood and they will come around soon enough.

I’d suggest that Homan arrest Sheriff Dart and charge him with concealing and harboring illegal aliens in the Cook County jail.

Just for laughs.

I would venture a guess that before it's all over that Lopez will get the entire situation shoved up his RECTUM!

That’d be a really awkward headline.

Better: start grabbing people for deportation in cooperative Red states, causing illegals to flee to Blue areas, until the Democrat zones are overwhelmed to the point where their own people turn on them.

Use Cloward-Piven techniques on THEM for a change.
