Chicago blocks proposal that'd allow law enforcement to cooperate with ICE on targeting criminal migrants

Two Chicago officials who wanted to allow police to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to target migrants with a criminal record, saw their measure get struck down on Wednesday.
Ald Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares wanted to change the ordinance to enable police to cooperate with ICE to target migrants who had been arrested for gang or drug-related activities or sexual crimes involving minors. Their measure received backlash from activist groups when they first introduced the measure in 2023. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The two officials saw their proposed amendment get struck down by a 39-11 vote. Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
