In Chicago, our grassroots organizing to defend our neighbors led to one of the most
in the nation. The Chicago Police Department is legally barred from working with ICE in any case, with no exceptions. During Trump’s second term, it will be critical to defend such policies already on the books, to expand the number of cities and states that have these policies on their books, and to close loopholes that undermine these policies. For example, while Chicagoland’s Cook County has prohibited public official cooperation with ICE, ICE still targets the county’s undocumented residents through data purchased from
who do business with the county. That’s why the two of us are working to pass No Data for ICE legislation through the County Board of Commissioners.
