The article discusses how both a Republican state representative and a Democratic Chicago alderman attribute the recent increase in federal immigration enforcement in Illinois to sanctuary policies. Republican State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer introduced House Bill 1317, aiming to repeal a law that prevents local law enforcement<\/a> from cooperating with federal authorities to detain illegal immigrants<\/a>. Davidsmeyer criticizes Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for prioritizing a progressive image over public safety. Meanwhile, Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez, along with former alderman Silvana Tabares, proposed an amendment to allow coordination with federal immigration officials in cases involving serious crimes such as gang activity, drug offenses, and sex crimes, but the city council rejected it. Lopez accused Mayor Brandon Johnson and the council of hypocrisy and failing to protect Chicago residents. The department of Homeland Security indicated it will continue efforts to remove violent illegal criminals from Chicago.
