Johnson emphatically said Tuesday that the Chicago Police
Department will not work with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement efforts.
“Our local police department will not ever cooperate with ICE,”
Johnson said during a news conference.
Johnson said Chicago will instead collaborate with other migrant
sanctuary cities.
“To the extent in which we’re going to have to rely upon one
another, other cities and states coming together, to find the
best way in which we can interact with a federal government that
is quite hostile towards states and cities,” Johnson said.
Homan told Fox Business cities with migrant sanctuary policies
blocking ICE agents from jails will just be met with more
enforcement on the streets.
“So what you’re going to get sanctuary cities is exactly what
you don’t want, more agents in your communities and more
collateral arrests,” Homan said. “That’s what we’re going to do.
We’re doubling down, tripling down, so to those who say they’re
going to keep ICE out of their city, good luck with that.”
Chicago, Cook County and the state of Illinois are defendants in
a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice over policies
prohibiting local law enforcement from cooperating with federal
immigration officials.
