Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has issued an executive order instructing the city’s police department to investigate claims of unlawful conduct by immigration enforcement agents. The directive aims to ensure accountability and transparency regarding the activities of these agents within Chicago.
The order comes amid growing concerns about the treatment of immigrants and the role of federal immigration authorities in the city. The police department will review any reports of illegal behavior and coordinate with relevant agencies as needed.
**Why this matters**
This move highlights local government efforts to address community concerns about immigration enforcement practices. It also reflects ongoing debates about the balance between federal immigration policies and local law enforcement priorities.
