CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Applauds Court Decision Extending Consent Decree and Protecting Constitutional Rights
In a recent decision, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed past rulings that extended the Castañon Nava Consent Decree and ordered the release of individuals who were unlawfully arrested without warrants by federal immigration agents. This ruling was met with praise from Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who issued a statement in response.
Mayor Johnson stated, "This decision is an affirmation of constitutional rights and the rule of law. The Court has made clear that federal immigration enforcement must operate within the bounds of the Constitution, and that warrantless arrests without probable cause cannot stand." He emphasized the importance of due process, judicial oversight, and civil liberties for all individuals, regardless of their immigration status.
The mayor also called on federal immigration agencies to comply with the court's ruling and ensure that their enforcement practices align with constitutional standards moving forward. He stressed that there can be no ambiguity or delay when it comes to upholding constitutional rights.

Furthermore, Mayor Johnson expressed his gratitude towards the families, advocates, and legal partners who have tirelessly fought to expose unlawful detention practices and secure relief for those impacted. He specifically mentioned organizations such as the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), ACLU of Illinois, and Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) for their crucial role in advocating for justice.
The mayor's administration remains committed to supporting immigrant communities and advocating for policies that protect residents' constitutional rights. He stated, "No one should be subjected to unlawful arrest or detention, and today's ruling moves us closer to a system rooted in fairness, transparency, and respect for human dignity."
In conclusion, Mayor Johnson applauded the court's decision as a step towards a more just system where every person can feel safe, access opportunities, and build a better future. He reassured Chicago residents that his administration will continue to prioritize protecting constitutional rights regardless of immigration status, making Chicago a welcoming city for all.
