Chicago-Area Cops Helped HSI Spy on Minnesota Anti-ICE Activists
Chicago-area police departments assisted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in monitoring anti-ICE activists, despite Illinois sanctuary laws restricting such cooperation. The activists were engaged in constitutionally protected speech and assembly activities.
Why it matters: Civil liberties practitioners and organizations operating in Illinois sanctuary jurisdictions need to assess whether local police are violating state law by enabling federal immigration surveillance of protected advocacy.
