The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Chicago and Ilinoi, claiming immigration policies in the state and the city and welcoming the city's status to hinder federal regulations.
In their complaint, the administration specifically cited the Illinois trust law, the Road Law forward and the Idi City Law, saying that they are “designed to interfere in federal law enforcement and distinguish it in reality. The constitution of the United States Constitution.”
“By refusing to honor the civilian detainees and their orders explicitly delegated by Congress, the defendants illegally canceled these means for federal immigration officials to implement their legal jobs,” the complaint said.
The lawsuit specifically notes President Donald Trump's latest signature of Laken Riley, which requires the detention of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes.
“Unlike Donald Trump, Illinois followed the law. The law of the two parties was in Illinois, which took place in the law of a Republican ruler, compatible with federal law and is still today,” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said in a statement. “Illinois will defend our laws that give priority to police resources to combat crime while enabling law enforcement in the state to help arrest violent criminals. Instead of working with us to support law enforcement, the Trump administration makes it difficult to protect the public, just like they did to pardon Trump criminals Procuremetors on January 6.
The Illinois Law is adopted in 2017, and the police in Illinois prevent the detention or arrest of a person based on the migration situation or the federal immigration detainee. The Road Law forward requires law enforcement agencies to submit annual reports to the Illinois Prosecutor's Office on its compliance with the law.
The Chicago Decree as a “city of haven”, also known as “the city of welcoming”, helps “to ensure that the population is not tried not only because of their migration situation.”
The decree gives Chicago protection of all ages at school and at work while accessing city services. The decree also says that “Chicago police officers cannot arrest on the basis of migration.”
The Ministry of Justice's lawsuit seeks to consider the three immigration policies “unbelievable.”
The lawsuit comes a few days after reporting the enforcement of enhanced migration operations in Chicago and parts of Illinois, which led to an increase in arrests.
Ice said that “the United States for Migration and Customs, along with federal partners, including the FBA, ATF, Dea, CBP and American Marshal service, began to perform improved targeted operations” in the city last month.
Reports indicated that operations will primarily target migrants with criminal backgrounds, although there are concerns of immigrants without a criminal history that can also be arrested.
Pritzker, a repeated Trump critic, asked about the aggressive approach to the superficial operations and influence of others, especially for immigrants who adhere to the law who have been in the country for years.
We need to get rid of violent criminals. But we also need to protect people, at least the population of Illinois and all over the country, who do what we hope will do, “Pritzker said on Sunday on the” CNN case “.
The City of Haram is a city that limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agents in order to prevent undocumented immigrants from deportation.
