Under the order, private businesses can choose to display signage indicating that ICE cannot enter without a warrant—thereby designating “their property as part of a city-wide network of community spaces that stand together in affirming the safety, dignity, and belonging of all of our residents,” the mayor said.

Johnson touted the order for building “a broad civic shield that limits the reach of harmful enforcement practices. It strengthens neighborhood solidarity and it reaffirms Chicago’s role as a welcoming city.”

    Hey, America- EVERY neighborhood is an ICE-free zone if you have a well-organized group of heavily armed residents on watch.

    Or, you know, just keep letting guys in masks put your neighbors in unmarked vans.

      I’m surprised there isn’t more “And then someone followed the ICE agents home and shot them dead in their driveway” happening yet.

      Be funny if that did happen, and the jury refused to indict. I think our faith in institutions are so low that that’s plausible, now.

        Nah, you’d just get a bunch of the most insufferable liberals you’ve ever seen clutching their pearls and flooding the comments about how “political violence” is just SO UNCOUTH and has NO place in their comfy version of reality.
