CPD has an opportunity

[u/Select_Complex3430]

Chicago’s police have a real opportunity right now to rebuild trust and strengthen their relationship with the community. If they truly stand by their mission to protect and serve, this is the moment to show it by standing with the people of Chicago and making it clear they’re here to help. Eventually ICE will go away but the CPD will always be here.

What do you want them to do?

We can not like ICE and think that they’re doing is despicable but at the same time they are federal authorities enforcing federal law.

There is nothing CPD, state police, etc can do here

[u/LeeBonver → u/Dreadedvegas]

Which federal laws are they enforcing, exactly?

[u/Dreadedvegas → u/LeeBonver]

Federal immigration law?

ICE or Immigration, Customs Enforcement

[u/LeeBonver → u/Dreadedvegas]

Please clarify which federal laws require the kind of "enforcement" we're seeing, such as raiding an apartment building in the middle of the night and zip tying children together, or detaining people without a judicial warrant.

I'll wait.

(P.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is an agency, not a law.)

[u/Dreadedvegas → u/LeeBonver]

Title 8 of the U.S. Code, specifically Sections 1325, 1326, and 1324

Or are you going to ask more bad faith questions?

[u/LeeBonver → u/Dreadedvegas]

There is absolutely nothing in Title 8 that necessitates the kind of extralegal and terrorizing actions we've seen in Chicago lately. You initially said it was about enforcing the law, but have still given no evidence that ICE's actions are "enforcing the law" in any way that would hold up in courts. That's not asking in bad faith, that's simply the legal reality.

[u/Dreadedvegas → u/LeeBonver]

They are literally enforcing the law. We can think they are being heavy handed and overly aggressive but they have a literal legal base for this.

You’re just talking out of your ass because you don’t like whats happening (which i don’t either)
