"And so over the course of several years in this city, we have stood firm on our values. And it just happened to coincide with the time in which we name all of our fleet utilities. And of course, you know, we have to take a stronger look at how this administration has used ICE and how it has caused tremendous harm. So that's why that particular name of this truck being named Abolish ICE, has my full and complete endorsement."
"The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation is taking submissions through Jan. 10, or until it receives 20,000 submissions. Ultimately six winners will have their monikers painted on the side of the plows in each of the City's six snow districts. CBS News reported that on day-one of the contest, an X user posted a screenshot with the name ABOLISH ICE, and advised, Everyone else go home this is the year we secure ABOLISH ICE on a Chicago Snowplow."
Chicago's fourth annual snow plow naming contest is accepting submissions through Jan. 10 or until 20,000 entries arrive, with residents choosing six winners to be painted on plows across six snow districts. Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed the name 'Abolish ICE,' saying ICE has been used as a privatized force that enacted terror and caused tremendous harm, and that the city must take a stronger look at the administration's use of the agency. The Rev. Al Sharpton called the name funny and clever. Social media users rallied behind 'ABOLISH ICE' on X, while at least one user criticized politicizing a light-hearted contest.
