Chicago mayor promises to keep sanctuary city status; defy Trump, federal law

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel promised Monday to defy President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation orders and vowed that the city will always be a so-called sanctuary city.

Chicago laws prohibit government workers and police officers from asking the locals about their immigration status, according to the Chicago Tribune. Emanuel reaffirmed that the policy will continue.

"To all those who are, after Tuesday's election, very nervous and filled with anxiety as we've spoken to, you are safe in Chicago, you are secure in Chicago and you are supported in Chicago," Emanuel said. "Chicago will always be a sanctuary city"

The mayor should be arrested because he's ignoring Fed law. Wonder how he'd look in one of those orange jump suits??

Is Rahm not breaking the law?

Is Rahm not breaking the law?

Yes.
Mayors aren't above federal immigration laws.
They're so used to a president that refuses to enforce those laws that they're like spoiled brats.

Yes they are breaking the law. Section 1324 of title 8 of the US code makes it a federal felony to encourage illegals to live in america.

8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens

Hilarious. Once he realizes that with a single stroke of a pen Trump can withhold all Federal money from going to Chicago......
