    We’re really gonna see what it means to be a “santuary city” when there is actually someone willing to try to send agents there anyways

    Both laws prevent local enforcement officers from asking for a person’s immigration status, detaining someone because of their immigration status or cooperating with federal immigration agents in several crucial areas.

    This helps protect undocumented immigrants, because ICE agents seek local law enforcement help when they’re going after noncitizens with reported immigration violations.

    Assuming the cops don’t collaborate with ICE bc they are prohibited from doing so are we doing to see a bounty system where citizens are given bounties for ratting on migrants or a tip line or just a bunch of door knocking in poor areas. We’ll see I guess.

      100-200 federal officers is not very many for a city the size of Chicago, if they don’t get local help.

      I hope Chicago leadership reminds them of the law and enforces it

      I suspect every cop will offer to lick Trump’s asshole clean as they hand over documents showing where every single brown person they’ve frisked and beaten lives.
