Chicago Vows to Remain a Sanctuary City
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel |
Sanctuary city law enforcement officers do not alert federal immigration authorities of the immigration status of individuals they encounter.
On Monday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel will hold a press conference to announce Chicago's plan to remain a sanctuary city.
Solis is among those planning to attend the news conference with Emanuel. "There’s some people, though I disagree with them, but I have some respect for — Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus," Solis said, referring to the House speaker and the RNC chairman who will serve as Trump's chief of staff. "I’m hoping that those guys have much more influence on Trump and what needs to be done not only on his first 100 days, but in his term."
“I want to assure all of our families that Chicago is and will remain a sanctuary city,” Emanuel said in a statement. “Chicago has been a city of immigrants since it was founded. We have always welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds, and while the administration will change, our values and our commitment to inclusion will not.”
More than 100 jurisdictions have regulations that limit law enforcement's compliance with federal immigration laws.
