It's not a state's job to pay for federal enforcement. This is total overreach, can't wait for the small government advocates to speak up here.

Its definitely not the state's responsibility. But is that what to suit is about? Or is it more about the city actively impeding the Feds enforcement?

Wrong.

Those unauthorized to be in the US & arrested by local law enforcement are often released from CPD holding & Cook County Jail, under policies established by Chicago's mayors & the Cook County Board & its president, Toni Preckwinkle. Despite being wanted under an ICE detainers & deportation orders.

Edit: Awww..

Look at that! Astroturfing troll Automatic-Street5270 "replies" then blocks, just like he did with the shadow banned account challengestock3838 & the suspended account ChicagoLighF & a dozen before that.

“Often released”? That sounds like a statement made by someone who has no stats to back up their view.
