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.”

        Remember when they said they were going to round up all the dangerous criminal illegal immigrants?

        But those were too hard to find, so they arrested the guys outside Home Depot or in the Hyundai factory instead. As long as they “look,” illegal, that’s good enough

          They did what Nixon wanted to do but couldn’t. The war on drugs started because they knew they couldn’t make being black illegal or being against war illegal… but now they did. Being brown or non-white of any kind in the US is effectively illegal, and in many countries protests against genocide are felony level criminal. They made many punishments for whatever protests they don’t like is now up to 4 years in jail. They never had that before… period. This is fucking insane.
