District Judge Lindsay Jenkins, has Dismissed a Lawsuit from the Trump (R) Administration regarding Sanctuary Policies in Chicago and Illinois, affirming that Local Governments have Retained the Right to Refuse Co-Operation with Federal ImmigrationEnforcement under the Tenth Amendment.
The Ruling marks a Major Setback for the Administration’s Efforts to Challenge State and City-Level Protections for Undocumented Immigrants.
It Upholds Laws such as Chicago’s "Welcoming City Ordinance", Reinforcing Local Authority in Guiding Immigration Related Policies.
The Court Rejected DOJ Claims that State Laws Violated Federal Authority, and Dismissed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) from the Case.
Meanwhile, some Local Governments like Louisville have Expressed a Willingness to Work with Federal Agencies.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Pritzker, praised the Ruling, Claiming it Upholds Local Laws that Protect Public Safety and Resist Harmful Immigration Policies. Johnson stated, “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 Administration’s reckless and inhumane immigration agenda.”
