For Chicagoans: Where Does Your Alderperson Stand On ICE? We Checked All 50
CHICAGO — For months, Operation Midway Blitz flooded Chicago with federal immigration agents, leading to an estimated 3,000 people detained between June 12 and mid-November.
Last month, a federal appeals court temporarily paused an order to release more than 400 people detained by federal agents as part of a lawsuit that accused agents of violating a 2022 consent decree governing warrantless immigration arrests, Block Club reported. Hundreds of those people had no criminal records.
While Midway Blitz has ramped down in recent weeks, arrests have continued in the region into December, and law enforcement officials have hinted at another spike in enforcement come spring.

I was glad to find out my Alderwoman is very anti ice . Anyhoo, if you click on the article you can find your Alderperson and see what they have publicly said about ice and what they have done in city council to protect our city from the monsters in ice.
