Chicago Refuses Trump – Details

Yellow sign reads Get the Facts on road.

(RightIsRight.co) – Chicago’s liberal politicians have once again chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens by refusing to work alongside President Donald Trump.

In a shocking 39-11 vote, the Chicago City Council rejected a proposal that would have allowed local law enforcement to assist ICE in detaining illegals with criminal records.

This decision leaves law-abiding residents vulnerable while coddling potential criminals who have no legal right to be in the country.

Put forward by Aldermen Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares, the proposal sought to amend the city’s “Welcoming City Ordinance.”

It would have allowed police cooperation with ICE for illegals involved in gang activities, drug-related crimes or sexual offenses against minors.

This common-sense measure was designed to protect law-abiding citizens and legal immigrants from dangerous criminals who have no respect for law and order.

However, Chicago’s leftist leadership, including Mayor Brandon Johnson, has doubled down on their sanctuary city policies.

Democrats effectively rolled out the welcome mat for illegal aliens while turning their backs on hardworking Americans.

Johnson even issued guidelines advising city officials on how to obstruct ICE agents, prioritizing the comfort of illegal aliens over the safety of Chicago’s citizens.

The financial burden of this reckless policy is staggering. Since August 2022, Chicago has spent an eye-watering $574.5 million on sheltering migrants, with over 20,000 illegal aliens flooding the city.

This massive influx has not only strained city resources but also led to proposals for property tax increases, further burdening law-abiding citizens.

One concerned resident spoke at the city council meeting to criticize Johnson:

“Who are you loyal to? The American citizens in Chicago or the illegal immigrants in Chicago? The sanctuary law that Brandon Johnson allowed has brought criminals, drug dealers, and now terrorists,” he said.

This resident’s concerns echo the frustrations of many Chicagoans who feel abandoned by their elected officials.

The city’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities not only undermines public safety but also flies in the face of Trump’s efforts to secure borders and protect American communities.

The Chicago Police Department’s stance is equally alarming. Despite the clear and present danger posed by criminal illegal aliens, the department has vowed not to assist in upcoming ICE deportations.

This dereliction of duty puts politics above public safety and leaves law-abiding citizens at risk.

Meanwhile, Trump announced during his inauguration that he would “declare a national emergency at our southern border.”

“All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” the president continued.
