.Joanna_reporter moderated our latest “Latino Voices” community conversation, speaking with community leaders what being a sanctuary city to immigrants really means and challenges migrants face upon integrating into a new community.
Chicago’s status as a sanctuary city dates back to 1985, when former Mayor Harold Washington issued an executive order prohibiting city employees from enforcing federal immigration laws.
It became law in 2006, reaffirmed after the 2016 election of former President Donald Trump and expanded in 2021. Now, more than thousands of migrants have been bused or sent by plane to Chicago by Texas’ governor amid an ongoing border crisis.This comes as President Joe Biden’s administration has taken on stricter asylum policies making it difficult for migrants to win asylum in the U.S. following the end of pandemic-era policy Title 42.
