The Department of Justice has initiated a lawsuit against Chicago, Illinois, and Cook County over their sanctuary laws that restrict collaboration with immigration authorities. This legal action, citing hindrance to federal responsibilities, follows past attempts by the Trump administration to penalize sanctuary jurisdictions, which often prevailed in court. Amid such scrutiny, Chicago's Mayor, Brandon Johnson, reaffirmed the city's commitment to its policies, emphasizing the protection of immigrant communities against federal immigration enforcement.
"We are firm in that our police department will not intervene or participate in any way in immigration enforcement... we're going to fight and stand up for working people."
