The Chicago Police Department has said it will not assist with looming deportations by United States Immigration as ordered by President Donald Trump.

The statement comes on Monday, a day after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson doubled down on his vow to oppose Trump’s sweeping reform.
DAILY POST reported that Trump had vowed to impose sweeping border security policies across the country.

Trump, who made his return to the White House on Monday, had also issued an executive order in that regard. But despite Trump’s order to send illegal immigrants back to their countries, Chicago officials took a vow of their own to not comply.

Chicago police said the department does not document immigration status, nor does it share the immigration status of individuals with federal authorities.

“To be clear, the Chicago Police Department will not assist or intervene in civil immigration enforcement in accordance with the City of Chicago Municipal Code,” the police department’s statement read.

“As always, we will continue to enforce the law if a crime occurs, regardless of the citizenship status of those involved.”

The full statement from D sent to WGN on Monday follows:

In accordance with the City of Chicago’s Municipal Code, which includes the Welcoming City Ordinance, the Chicago Police Department does not assist federal immigration authorities with enforcement action solely based on immigration status. Additionally, D does not document immigration status and does not share such information with federal authorities.
D is prohibited by the Welcoming City Ordinance from participating in civil immigration enforcement operations or assist in the civil enforcement of federal immigration law. D’s Responding to Incidents Involving Citizenship Status policy also states that if the Department receives a request from an immigration agency to provide assistance with a civil immigration enforcement operation, a supervisor will respond to the scene. If the request is to assist in the enforcement of civil immigration law, the supervisor will decline the request. If the request is unrelated to civil immigration law, appropriate police action will be taken. The Responding to Incidents Involving Citizenship Status policy was recently revised to require a supervisor of higher rank (a Watch Operations Lieutenant or Street Deputy) respond to the scenes of these requests, in addition to the previously required supervisor from the district of occurrence.


This weekend, immigrant advocates reminded those fearful of mass deportation operations of steps they can take.

“You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to not open your door. You have the right to speak to an attorney,” Erendira Rendon with The Resurrection Project said.
The Illinois law that prohibits local police from detaining a person because of their immigration status was actually signed by former Republican governor Bruce Rauner during the first Trump istration.

ICE has enough personnel to do the job. Stopping ICE from doing their job is a federal offence

So, they won't require assistance from local police for enforcement?. You think they would just come in kicking down people's doors and arresting them?.

This is a place where people understand the rule of law and their role.

Here, a court would give injunction and wait for Mr President to agree or not before implementation can go ahead.
Case in point, the arrest and prosecution of those minors by the Nigerian police for alleged treasonable offences.

They will oppose a govt order just because they don't like the person who made it

Fuel subsidy removal and renaming of Unilag comes to mind

Who ever thought those clowns will oppose the naming of a university after MKO?

Very good, Trump is a useless goat, an immigrant getting hostile towards another immigrant, thank God! the fool have just 4 years.

A convicted felony, it is surprising that; that kind of person becomes president in the first place.

This is more is less a safe landing. That means all the concerned or supposed illegal immigrants will be moving en-mass to Chicago.

Just watch how Chicago will be overcrowded in the coming days

As expected, many will not read this part. They are always happy to cite nonsense in other countries to make excuses for their failures here.
Chicago police department is simply stating the position of the law which prohibits it from enforcing immigration laws and keeping immigration records.

I expected this from Sanctuary cities. Most of this cities would protect their residents provided you pay your taxes and don't involve yourself in illegal activities.
