City Hall agrees to comply with Department of Justice request for immigration documents
The city of Chicago has agreed to hand over the immigration documents requested by the Department of Justice under threat of subpoena, according to the Sun-Times. “We have seen too many examples of the threat to public safety represented by jurisdictions that actively thwart the federal government’s immigration enforcement—enough is enough,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. When the city does give the DOJ the documents, they will include a recent order by a federal judge siding with Chicago on the issue of sanctuary cities, according to Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins.
