💨 Abstract

An Illinois judge dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit targeting Chicago's sanctuary policies. The lawsuit aimed to undermine Chicago's limits on local police cooperation with federal immigration agents. Judge Lindsay Jenkins dismissed the case, affirming Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance. Mayor Brandon Johnson praised the decision, stating it supports public safety. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to the ruling. Chicago has been a sanctuary city for decades and further strengthened its protections during Trump's first term.
