As President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown grips the Chicago area in fear, a burgeoning resistance movement has also emerged here to challenge — as well as evade — immigration enforcement.
From statements of defiance by local leaders to an unofficial network of tips and alerts on various social media sites, Chicagoland has become an epicenter of opposition to the president’s immigration agenda.
Nonprofits have ramped up education campaigns to inform undocumented residents of their rights. A Chicago organization has launched a multilingual mobile “Know Your Rights” app, which includes an audio recitation of rights; the app was designed by the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium and allows users to send an alert to contacts in case of an emergency.
Faith leaders and school officials across the Chicago area have also vowed to protect noncitizens from raids, even as the Trump administration reversed a long-standing practice of limiting immigration arrests at sensitive locations like houses of worship and schools.
In exasperation, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has characterized immigration enforcement in Chicago as “a game of cat and mouse.”

Looks like we may need "Reconstruction" style military occupation.
I live in a small town. ICE/sheriff dept. raided 3 places two days ago. A hotel and two houses, one a couple of blocks way from me. President Trump isn’t messing around.
Also-choke off the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Illegals have no rights outside of those listed in the UN Charter..............so, basically, none..........
Jail time will
“THEY WILL NOT BREAK US!”
Ooooohhh yes they will.

Illegal alien ‘rights’ are not Constitutional, they are invalid CASE LAW which Trump is rightly disavowing.
Accept any premise of the Left and you lose the argument.
Always go back to the moral absolutes and legal foundations!
perfect: now the rest of the nation’s illegal aliens know where to flee, thus overwhelming Chicago’s resources and soon precipitating the overthrow of Mayor Johnson and his Council cronies who are more interested in serving foreigners than their own populations ... I foresee a Make Chicago Great Again (McGa) movement ...
There needs to be some arrests in Chicago.
Maybe the citizens will stop paying taxes in Chicago. The city will not be able to enforce that law.
Chicago begged Texas to stop sending the buses lol
doesn’t the military always looking for ways to consolidate the enemy into one area? this looks like a plan.
Invaders who commit crimes should be removed. This is something Team Trump has legal authority to do.
The non-thug invaders should be financially squeezed by all means we can think of, hopefully right out of the USA:
1. no welfare, except Medicaid/Kidscare, for persons under age 2,
2. limit welfare to naturalized citizens & US born persons (an anchor baby shouldn’t be able to support a family on your tax dollars),
3. change Section 8 to pay by citizen adult/head of household,
first, up to 30% max, second, up to 10% max, and
by child born in the USA, first female by birth over 2, up to 20% max, first male by birth over 2, up to 20% max,
[if more money is needed, let the recipients borrow from their relatives’ Social Security accounts, starting with the parents of the adult class recipients],
4. future financings of vehicles with a weight of over 300 pounds with a top speed of over 20 mph
to require 25/50/25 federal minimum and state minimum insurance paid through the key financier,
with unlimited liability for each financing party involved, jointly and severely, if the insurance is not in place,
5. no alien to be permitted to acquire such a vehicle except with a down payment on the vehicle of at least $2,000,
6. an annual motor vehicle use fee of $1,999 for an alien not on a valid visa and lacking a passport from their visa exempt country,
payable if desired in monthly installments of $190 after the the initial $1,999 paid,
7. confiscation of motor vehicles if in violation 4, 5, or 6,
8. a CO2 emissions motor vehicle sales tax by vehicle weight, fully deductible on income tax,
[an illegal that crashes a vehicle every six months would pay every six months
as much as a domestic driver that drives safely for a dozen years or more would pay for as long as he/she owns the vehicle],
9. only adults having their valid TSA-acceptable photo ID to be able to send money,
10. a remittance tax of 10% on the first $2,000, 15% on the next $2,000, and then 20%,
levied per sender on a running 12-months basis,
11. foreign bound and alien transmissions of money to be held two days per $1,000 sent over a 12-month period by a sender,
federal law enforcement may add a delay of up to 30 days,
and judges may add delays of up to 30 days per order,
[to give law enforcement time to examine such transmissions and their intended recipients],
12. permit aliens to only send money to the US or to a country from which they have a valid passport
[to impede payment to Mexican cartels by Central Americans and Asians],
13. an additional alcoholic beverage tax of 50 cents per 16 ounces of beverage, by container,
to be charged unless paid for by a person with
a picture ID suitable for purchase of alcohol and a matching current year private health insurance or Medicare card
[a six-pack of Corona would cost the invader almost $15].
This will require changes in our laws, which should be done ASAP. Trump needs to work with Congress. Some changes can be made at the state level.
Confiscating an invader’s uninsured car is not going to cause whining among voters. The prime confiscation pathways would be federal highways with limited access. And if the aliens shun federal highways, we’ll have probable cause to suspect they are aliens illegally in the USA.
BTTT
It kind of doesn’t matter. The clown who is currently the “mayor” is only going to be a one-termer anyway.
Leftist states are known to pay extraordinarily high public pensions.
Perhaps the recipients would like to show greater love (i.e. dinero) to the IRS.
A new federal income tax on retirement income is possible.
Do try to resist.
Democrats are a perfect fit for federal prison clothing.
The illegals already “Broke” them.
I remember a couple of months ago, black residents of Chicago were righteously angry at the mass influx of illegals - and them getting housing, medical care, food and more at their expense. They were screaming at Brandon Johnson.
I’d like to know their take on this, if they’re supportive of thwarting ICE as the politicians they voted for are.
Otherwise, enjoy the flood of non-English speaking students into your schools taking resources away from your children, higher taxes and more crime.
