They don&#8217;t realize or appreciate the real-world implications of \u2063what they\u200d do.

When\u2063 you \u200bhave individuals who are coming here &#8230; only for evil\u200c purposes, to be perfectly honest, we shouldn&#8217;t protect them. We shouldn&#8217;t \u2062harbor them.

Currently, Chicago policy prohibits local police from cooperating with ICE, even when individuals have outstanding criminal warrants, felony\u2062 convictions, or are known \u200bgang\u200d members.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez&#8217;s proposed ordinance would enable the\u2064 city&#8217;s officers to turn over illegal immigrants to ICE if they have been arrested or convicted of \u2064gang-related crimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-confirms-illegal-aliens-who-are-convicted-of-dui-rape-and-drug-related-crimes-will-not-be-deported-video\/\" title=\"White House Confirms Illegal Aliens Who are Convicted of DUI, Rape and Drug-Related Crimes Will NOT be Deported (VIDEO)\">drug-related crimes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-newsom-signs-off-on-reversing-loitering-law-police-used-to-crack-down-on-human-trafficking-and-prostitution\/\" title=\"Gov.

Republican Gov. Greg\u200c Abbott&#8217;s decision\u2062 to bus immigrants\u200d out of \u200bthese communities led to the arrival of approximately\u2063 40,000 people nationwide, including 15,000 in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago, like \u200bother liberal cities such\u2063 as New York City and \u200bWashington, D.C., is struggling to handle \u2064the border crisis. The city has spent \u200d$110 million\u2064 over the\u200c past year in response to \u200bthe\u2063 crisis. Mayor Brandon Johnson&#8217;s administration has acknowledged the problems but \u200chas struggled\u2063 to \u2062find effective solutions.<\/p>\n<p>While not everyone supports Lopez&#8217;s proposal,\u200c he\u2064 emphasizes the \u2063need to set parameters and establish societal norms. &#8220;We can be welcoming with restrictions,&#8221; Lopez\u200b said. \u200b&#8221;You have to have a \u2064standard that you&#8217;re telling people is our societal norm; otherwise, it&#8217;s just anything goes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the city council prepares to address this issue, all \u200deyes are on \u2062Chicago and the outcome of\u2062 this \u2063rare fight within the Democratic party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Democrat in Chicago is spearheading the deportation of criminals as the sanctuary city struggles to accommodate numerous illegal immigrants from the southern border.
