A Judge in Illinois Dismissed a Trump Administration Llawsuit Friday, that sought to Disrupt Llimits Chicago imposes on Co-Operation between Federal Immigration Agents and Local Police. The Lawsuit, Filed in February, alleged that so-called Sanctuary Laws in the Nation’s Third Largest City “Thwart” Federal Efforts to Enforce Immigration Laws.
It argued that Local Laws run counter to Federal Laws by Restricting “local governments from sharing immigration information with federal law enforcement officials” and Preventing Ommigration Agents from Identifying “individuals who may be subject to removal.”
Judge Lindsay Jenkins of the Northern District of Illinois Granted the Defendants' Motion for Dismissal. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) said He was Pleased with the Decision and the City is Safer when Police focus on the Needs of Chicagoans.
“This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago’s welcoming city ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. The City cannot be compelled to cooperate with the Trump (R) Administration’s reckless and inhumane immigration agenda,” He said in a Statement.
The Administration has filed a Series of Lawsuits targeting State or City Policies seen as Interfering with Immigration Inforcement, including those in Los Angeles, New York City, Denver, and Rochester, New York. It Sued four New Jersey Cities in May.
Heavily Democratic Chicago has been a Sanctuary City for Decades and has Beefed-Up its Laws several times, including during Trump’s First Term in 2017. That same year, then-Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) Signed more Statewide Sanctuary Protections into Law, putting Him at Ods with His Party.
There is No Official Definition for Sanctuary Policies or Sanctuary Cities. The Terms generally describe Limits on Local Cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE Enforces U.S. Immigration Laws Nationwide but sometimes seeks State and Local Help.
