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.”

    Since they’re ok with stores banning masks, they would be ok with stores banning masks for people in uniform too, right?

    Or would that somehow be discrimination?

      It is absolutely wild to the rest of the western world that ICE agents under Trump are allowed to conduct their job masked all the time.

      Literal secret police in failed state shit.

        Police everywhere in the US have done it for a while, many people were beaten in 2020 by police wearing masks with their badge numbers covered, even in Democrat “sanctuary cities”. Not to mention DHS and BORTAC agents which have been detaining people with masks and no identification as well. People talk about defunding ICE which needs to happen but there are several agencies waging this campaign.
