News of next week’s #raids leaked after the #Chicago City Council decisively rejected an effort to allow city police to cooperate with immigration enforcement. “We intend to stand by & protect Chicago’s immigrant communities against threats from ICE,” Mayor Johnson said Wednesday after the vote.

The seesawing reports of possible #raids in #Chicago can stir up fears that advance the admin’s broader enforcement goals, even if operations are postponed or shifted to other cities. #TomHoman & other #Trump aides say they want immigrants living in the United States illegally to once more fear arrest & choose to leave the country on their own, or “self-deport.”

#Trump ofcls reassessing post-inauguration #Chicago #raids after plans leaked

Trump’s handpicked “border czar” #TomHoman said…the incoming admin is reconsidering whether to launch #immigration raids in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked in news reports.

“We’re looking at this leak & will make a decision based on this leak. It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk,” Homan, said.
