Evanston Mayor Daniel biss publicly criticized the Trump management for not informing local officials in advance about the raids, despite openly stating his intent to disrupt them and protect undocumented immigrants in his city. Biss, a Democrat and congressional candidate, emphasized his efforts to notify residents so they could take precautions and pledged to hold ICE accountable during enforcement actions. The piece notes criticism of Biss&#8217;s approach, highlighting concerns that sheltering illegal immigrants can have serious consequences, citing the case of a local woman killed by an illegal immigrant driver. The article suggests that while Biss&#8217;s stance may resonate locally, it could face challenges politically at the national level, given the widespread public disapproval of illegal immigration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>With Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids apparently imminent in the Chicago area, the mayor of Evanston, Illinois, went on cable news to complain that President Donald Trump&rsquo;s administration &ldquo;wants to keep us guessing&rdquo; about the actions &mdash; even though he was completely open about the fact that he plans to disrupt those raids in any way possible.<\/p>\n<p>If Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss &mdash; a Democrat, in case you even needed to ask &mdash; wanted to know why he was being kept in the dark, his Monday appearance on Erin Burnett&rsquo;s CNN show should have been an object lesson in why the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mark-levin-uses-6th-grad-econ-test-to-show-harris-why-her-inflation-plan-wont-work\/\" title=\"Mark Levin Uses 6th Grad Econ Test to Show Harris Why Her Inflation Plan Won&#039;t Work\">federal government doesn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t partner with or alert major cities about their presence there.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to griping about the Trump administration keeping him &ldquo;guessing&rdquo; regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tom-homan-goes-off-mika-brzezinski-disgusting-spin-immigration-enforcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the raids<\/a>, he added that he planned to &ldquo;hold ICE officials accountable&rdquo; for enforcing the law, apparently.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&rsquo;s worth noting that Biss &mdash; who <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >previously made nationwide headlines<\/a> for helping make Evanston the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/city-becomes-first-us-officially-institute-reparations-black-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first city in America to give reparations to black residents<\/a> in the wake of the summer of Floyd &mdash; is running for Congress, and his appearance on CNN was as much a campaign stop as anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Biss had also made headlines for warning the people in his city that deportations were imminent.
