(CHICAGO) U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is asking the Supreme Court to decide whether Chicago can be a Sanctuary City and still receive federal law enforcement grants. Mayor Emanuel says he is welcoming the challenge.
At the police graduation of 230 officers, the mayor vowed to stand firm against the Trump Justice Department at the Supreme Court, saying “Chicago will always welcome people from all parts of the country, all parts of the world, to be partners with out police departmentt. We will not let a wedge develop between the police and neighborhoods and residents thruout the City of Chicago even if it requires defending those values and the ideals of community policing in the Supreme Court of the United States against the Trump Justice Dept.”
The Mayor has been winning this argument in the lower courts, but the DOJ is trying to at least limit his win to Chicago only, not across the country.
