The administration of Donald Trump sued the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago this Thursday to dismantle regional and municipal protections that the White House They affirm block their anti -migration operations.
The lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice in a Court of Illinois says that several regional and municipal laws of these Democratic bastions in the east of the country “are designed to interfere, and in fact interfere, with the application of the Federal Immigration Law of the Immigration of the Immigration of the Federal Government ”.
The complaint refers, specifically, to an ordinance of the Cook County (with several municipalities, including Chicago) that prohibits local officers migratory and limits information about immigrants that can be shared with the federal sphere.
The text argues that both the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, and the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson (both Democrats), “profess a shared interest with the federal government to apply immigration laws to withdraw criminals from the United States (.. .) But the laws of Illinois offer otherwise. ”
Chicago housed tens of thousands of immigrants between 2022 and 2024 who reached the southern border in search of asylum, many of which were transferred there by the Texas Republican government in a political maneuver to force Democratic governments to assume the growing flow migratory.
Considered a sanctuary city, like others governed by Democrats, it has become the target of Trump’s darts and its administration that, on a radical anti -migration platform promises the deportation of millions of immigrants, many of whom were labeled criminals in the Official narrative.
“Political games”
During his first day of government, Trump signed several executive decrees to redesign the concept of citizenship and the American immigration system, among other measures, increasing the military contingent on the border, severely limiting the system of asylum and refuge and eliminating the right to the citizenship by birth.
This last decree prevented the issuance of passports, birth certificates or other documents to children of mothers who are in the country illegally or temporarily, and whose father is not an American citizen or has permanent residence.
A federal judge in Seattle approved a preliminary interdiction on Thursday preventing the federal government from executing its decree, in response to a lawsuit filed by the Democrats governments of Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon.
“It has become increasingly evident than for our president, the rule of law is nothing more than an impediment to his political objectives,” said Judge John Couchnour before vetoing Trump’s decree.
“The Constitution is not something that the government can play political games,” he added when arguing that his work “is to protect the rule of law.”
“If the government wants to change the amendment that guarantees the right to citizenship by birth, it needs to amend the Constitution itself.”
The couughenor failure ratifies its position issued two weeks ago at a temporary audience.
The 14th amendment of the US Constitution was adopted in the second half of the nineteenth century as a result of the civil war, in an effort to guarantee the rights of ancient slaves and their children.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and the state in which they reside,” he says.
Another federal judge had prevented the entry into force of the decree on Wednesday in response to a separate lawsuit in Maryland.
