President Trump’s Administration is giving Chicago one final warning before it may yank millions of dollars in federal policing grants.
Chicago has until October 27 to prove to the Justice Department that the city’s sanctuary policies, such as not asking about immigration status and not holding people in jail for federal immigration officers, isn’t hurting the law enforcement effort in the city.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a press conference that he’s not afraid of the letter.
“I totally, 100% reject the false choice of Donald Trump and the Justice Department,” the mayor said at a press conference Thursday. “We are not going to be a city that picks between the philosophy of community police and being a welcoming city.”
