Chicago Mayor to Resist Trump's Immigration Crackdown
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is taking a stand against President Donald Trump's planned immigration crackdown. In response, Johnson will sign an executive order on Saturday outlining the city's initial plans to resist the controversial measures. This move comes after Trump's recent announcement to ramp up immigration enforcement and deportations. Johnson's order is expected to include measures to protect undocumented immigrants and their families in Chicago.
Protecting Undocumented Immigrants
The executive order will likely include measures to limit the city's cooperation with federal immigration authorities, such as prohibiting city employees from inquiring about a person's immigration status. Additionally, it may establish a legal defense fund to help undocumented immigrants facing deportation. The order also aims to promote a welcoming and inclusive environment for immigrants in Chicago, as the city has a long history of being a sanctuary for immigrants.
Possible Consequences and Future Plans
While the specifics of the order have not been released, it is expected to face backlash from the Trump administration. However, Johnson remains steadfast in his commitment to protecting undocumented immigrants in the city. He has also expressed plans to work with other cities and states to combat the federal government's aggressive immigration policies. With this executive order, Chicago is taking a stand against Trump's immigration crackdown and sending a message of inclusivity and support to its immigrant community.
