Chicago PD Stunner – No ICE Help!

(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Chicago’s City Council has once again betrayed American citizens by blocking a proposal that would have allowed local law enforcement to assist ICE in detaining criminal aliens.

This dangerous decision leaves Chicagoans vulnerable to the unchecked influx of illegal aliens, many of whom have criminal records.

In a vote of 39-11, the Chicago City Council rejected an amendment to the city’s Welcoming City Ordinance.

The proposal would have made it possible for police to cooperate with ICE to arrest illegals involved in gang activities, drug-related crimes or sexual offenses against minors.

This decision effectively maintains Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city, prioritizing the protection of illegal aliens over the safety of its own citizens.

Aldermen Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares proposed the amendment in an attempt to address the growing concerns of Chicago residents who are frustrated with the city’s handling of the migrant crisis.

The proposal aimed to strike a balance between maintaining Chicago’s welcoming stance and ensuring public safety by targeting only those illegals who pose a serious threat to the community.

However, the majority of the City Council and Mayor Brandon Johnson chose to ignore the pleas of their constituents and instead cater to the interests of illegal aliens.

This decision comes at a time when Chicago is struggling to cope with the financial burden of sheltering over 20,000 migrants who have arrived since August 2022, costing taxpayers a staggering $574.5 million.

A resident spoke at the city council meeting and criticized Johnson. “Who are you loyal to? The American citizens in Chicago or the illegal immigrants in Chicago?” the man said.

“The sanctuary law that Brandon Johnson allowed has brought criminals, drug dealers, and now terrorists,” he added.

The Chicago Police Department, which should be focused on protecting citizens, has openly stated that it will not assist or intervene in civil immigration enforcement.

This stance not only undermines federal law but also sends a clear message to criminal aliens that Chicago is a safe haven for their illegal activities.

Mayor Johnson has gone even further by issuing guidelines to city officials on how to handle ICE interactions.

Johnson has essentially provided them with a roadmap for obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

This blatant disregard for the rule of law and the safety of American citizens is a slap in the face to those who criminal migrants have victimized.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump laid out plans to tackle issues surrounding illegal immigration and a weakened border during his inauguration.

“First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” Trump said.

As the president prepares to take action to secure our borders and protect American communities, cities like Chicago are actively working against these efforts.

The refusal to cooperate with federal authorities not only puts citizens at risk but also creates a dangerous precedent that undermines national security.

It is clear that the leadership in Chicago has chosen to prioritize the liberal agenda and open borders ideology over the safety and well-being of its own citizens.

As the migrant crisis continues to worsen and crime rates soar, it is the law-abiding residents of Chicago who will ultimately pay the price for this reckless decision.
