Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's decision to sue the Department of Justice because it's asking the Chicago Police Department to obey the law perfectly illustrates the dangerous disdain the modern Left has for normal Americans. On July 25, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked all cities, states, and territories applying for a very specific federal law enforcement grant to adhere to three new, very reasonable measures: To openly communicate with the Department of Homeland Security, to allow DHS officers to meet with locally-held prisoners who live in the country illegally and have been arrested for non-immigration related crimes, and to give the Department 48 hours notice before releasing such prisoners.

The DOJ says "it's especially tragic that the mayor is less concerned with Chicago's staggering murder rate than he is spending time and taxpayer money protecting criminal aliens and putting Chicago's law enforcement at greater risk," We also know from a Trump appearance here in Chicago in 2015 why he wants to force Chicago to give the feds access to county jail to grab and deport undocumented immigrants, saying "If we don't have a border, we don't have a country. That's very important.

A suite of pressures on the policy that protects young undocumented immigrants is brewing -- and it could mean the program soon either becomes permanent or disappears entirely.

The administration rolled out its new immigration policy at the White House Wednesday during a week when nothing has gone well for the president. President Donald Trump has failed at health care reform.

Officials in College Park are weighing a plan that would make their city the largest in Maryland to give undocumented immigrants a right to vote in local elections, a long-standing practice elsewhere in the state that has drawn new scrutiny amid the simmering national debate over immigration.

If cities want assistance as part of the Justice Department's new initiative to curb violent crime, they will have to help federal authorities tamp down on illegal immigration, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday.
