The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago on Thursday, claiming that the policies of the city of their haven are prevented the federal authorities from enforcing immigration laws.
The federal lawsuit is the first by the Ministry of Justice, President Donald Trump against the states or municipalities that have the policies of the campus city.
The 22 -page lawsuit, which was submitted by one day after the reserve specialist was directed by American Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi on its first day at work, claimed that the policies of the haven that Illinois laid down, Chicago and Cook, “obstructing“ federalism ”of the government from imposing immigration laws .
“The provisions faced by the Illinois, Chicago and Cook County Law reflect its deliberate efforts to obstruct the federal government’s enforcement of the Federal Immigration Law and the obstruction of consultation and communication between federal, state and local law enforcement officials, which is necessary for federal officials to implement the federal immigration law and maintain the safety of Americans.
The lawsuit is the latest vehicle used by the Trump administration because it quickly pays its collective pushing to immigrants that are not documented. It may also raise questions about the future application application to direct the opening days after the opening, when the White House Trump issued instructions to the Ministry of Justice to investigate government or local officials who resist the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Mass or state cities are not official terms. Posters refer to a state, city, province, or municipality of Sint laws that explicitly or effectively prevent local officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
The lawsuit specifically refers to the “Ethiopian Confidence” law, “The Decree of the City of Welcome” in Chicago and “Cook County Policy to respond to ICE detainees.
Illinois Trust, which was launched in 2017, “prohibits law enforcement and domestic from helping the federal government to enforce civil immigration but allows coordination when there is a federal criminal memorandum,” according to a fact newspaper describing the law submitted by the Office of the Governor of Democratic JB Pritzker.
The “welcome city decree” in Chicago and the Cook County policy mainly escapes the same task.
The lawsuit seeks a temporary and permanent blockage to enforce the three policies.
In a statement of NBC news, Pritzker spokesman Alex Gov said the state would fight the lawsuit.
“The Illinois confidence law from the two parties, which was signed by a Republican governor, has always been compatible with federal law and is still today. Goff said that Illinois will defend our laws that give priority to police resources to combat crime while enabling the implementation of the state law 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 as they did when they pardoned the criminals convicted on January 6. We look forward to seeing them in court.”
Johnson said in a statement that the city's Ministry of Law was filling the lawsuit and would respond in time.
“Chicago will remain a welcome city, with people welcome,” Johnson said. “The safety and security of the Chicago residents is still a priority,” he said, adding that Chicago will continue to protect people working in our city and defend attacks on our long values. “
Johnson and other officials of Chicago remained strongly defying against Trump on immigration issues.
In the weeks that followed Trump's victory in November, Johnson, a democratic, said that the city “will not bend or break” the laws of its haven.
Last month, the Chicago City Council voted a proposal that would reduce the laws that prevent city officials from cooperating with federal immigration authorities targeting individuals participating in violent crimes.
Trump broke out with Chicago on the same issues during his first administration. The city was a site for one of the first procedures to enforce the administration after Trump swore last month.
