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.”
It should be noted that public schools are, well public. The feds shouldn’t have a domestic police force they can target at anything they want and customs enforcement should be severely restricted geographically.
It blows my mind that ICE shut down its like human trafficking, crime etc divisions to go after like farmworkers and home depot parking lots. It shows that what conservatives are most afraid of is seeing brown people in public and talk of “immigration enforcement” should be nakedly seen as what it actually is.
Politicians talking about immigration should address it as such; no “bipartisan” immigration bills. You either believe in supreme court rubber stamped racial profiling or you believe in laws. There’s no bipartisanship when both sides are talking about different things. Democrats or a new party need to come up with an actual immigration system reform wholly distinct from republican race wars.
Imo these functions should be split back up and there need to be a constitutional amendment banning the arrest of anyone under any law by a person without either a displayed ID showing a state issued badge or a warrant.
