— Chicago’s police chief delivered a blunt warning amid rising confrontations with federal immigration officers, reminding residents in October that ICE and HSI personnel are “law enforcement officers” and that attacking or obstructing them is a criminal act. He cautioned that emotional disagreement with federal operations does not give anyone license to interfere, adding that Chicago police “do not interfere with the duties and responsibilities of federal agents” and are committed to keeping them safe.

THE HILL
— Local sanctuary policies are creating chaos for communities
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigration/5704178-immigration-policy-national-law/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Immigration policy is not a local preference. It is not a city ordinance. It is not a state experiment. Under the Constitution and federal statute, immigration law is national law under Article I, Section 8, Clause 4. It is written by Congress, enforced by the executive branch, and applied uniformly across the country. City councils and statehouses do not get to decide immigration policy for the rest of the nation. Congress does. That distinction matters, because much of what now defines the immigration debate is not coming from Congress. It is coming from municipalities and state governments attempting to carve out “sanctuary” regimes that limit cooperation with federal enforcement, restrict information sharing, and in some cases actively obstruct federal immigration operations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not a private agency. It is an enforcement arm of the federal government. Entering the U.S. without inspection is a federal offense. Overstaying a visa is a civil violation. In both cases, the legal remedy established by Congress is removal from the country.)
