Cook County will now prohibit the use of county owned property, resources, and personnel for civil immigration enforcement.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said the executive order is yet another move to safeguard against federal immigration enforcement she said has “instilled fear rather than promote fairness and justice.”
Agents have been prohibited from using county facilities and personnel time for ICE investigations without a criminal warrant since an ordinance was put in place in 2011.
“It is critical that the government’s interactions with the public adhere to our nation’s laws and values,” Preckwinkle said in a statement Thursday. “Yet, ICE’s increasingly aggressive, inhumane and unlawful actions continue undermining the safety and stability of our communities. We will do everything we can to ensure all residents receive fair treatment and our communities are safe from harassment and intimidation.”
The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection all did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It’s the latest local effort to establish “ICE-free zones.” The Chief Judge of Cook County barred civil arrests at Cook County courthouses and Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order making it so that city property — including parking lots next to Chicago public schools, libraries, parks and city buildings — cannot be used by federal agents as staging areas.

The woke Democrats are in league with Antifa and the Marxists.
“Sanctuary” deja vu all over again.

She dindu nuffin.
Winkle... I misread as wrinkle.
And now Evanston has gone rogue too.
We lived in Evanston when the kids were in grade school. Lovely town with apparently sane people. Kids got a great education.
And now it’s gone crazy:
‘Earlier this week, the Evanston City Council unanimously adopted a resolution barring federal immigration agencies from using city property, expanding on its existing sanctuary city laws and similarly looking into signage and enforcement methods, though the latter has yet to be set into law. The resolution directs city staff to identify potentially vulnerable city properties and close them off with physical barriers, such as gates and locks, when possible.”
I misread as “prickwanker”.
““It is critical that the government’s interactions with the public adhere to our nation’s laws and values,” “
Except when it adheres to the nation’s laws and values.
attempts to supersede the federal government like this
should wind up with folks in prison
How much are the cartels paying the demonrats to commit treason?!

I don’t think a state can prevent the federal government from enforcing federal law, as long as the law is Constitutional.
At least to me, that gives ground for the feds to arrest the Governor and any judge that stands in that way.
The second they tried to enforce this, it’d be struck down. Same with Newsom’s anti-mask law. It’s all pathetic grandstanding.
Bondi needs to start Grand Jury proceedings against all of these people.
L
Yeah, I can see that one as well.
It isn’t the people of Evanston, It’s the socialist snakes who have been hiding in leadership. All of this is serving to smoke them out of their holes. Be glad. The enemy is much easier to deal with once drawn into the open.
“I don’t think a state can prevent the federal government from enforcing federal law, as long as the law is Constitutional.”
I agree. These orders are an attack on the federal government who has jurisdiction in every state for enforcing federal laws.
So who’s going to enforce these orders against federal troops?
Are we going to end up with local police fighting the national guard or army?
grunt. pop. click. grunt. grunt.
😂😂😂😂
we'll take care of ourselves and our slaves- ie illegals.
are we going to need a 2 country solution?
Can a divided United States survive?
Don't take the bait. STAY CALM . the fact of the matter is, this is smaller news than it appears. There are more people who support ICE than support illegal immigrants.
In a word, Sedition.
