CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor's Office Responds to Cook County State's Attorney's Immigration Enforcement Protocol

In response to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office releasing a charging protocol for federal immigration agents, the office of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has issued a statement. The statement highlights the alignment between Mayor Johnson's "ICE on Notice" Executive Order and the State's Attorney's Federal Immigration Enforcement Action Response Protocol, stating that they are both part of a larger public safety framework.

The Executive Order directs members of the Chicago Police Department to document incidents, preserve evidence, and refer potential violations of state and local law for review. The State's Attorney's Protocol then establishes the prosecutorial process for these referrals, ensuring that cases are evaluated under the same legal standards as any other individual.

According to the statement, these measures reinforce the principle that federal agents operating in Chicago are subject to the law and must be held accountable for any serious incidents. The city remains committed to taking timely and transparent action in addressing past harms and making it clear that federal agents are not immune to oversight and accountability. The statement also emphasizes that future violations will not be tolerated.

The mayor's office stresses that holding violent federal agents accountable should not depend on political whims but rather on the principle that no one is above the law. This response from Mayor Johnson's office comes as a reassurance to Chicago residents that their safety and rights will be protected, regardless of their immigration status.
