To a degree perhaps unsurpassed by any other jurisdiction, the political leadership of Chicago has chosen deliberately and intentionally to adopt a policy that obstructs this country\u2019s lawful immigration system. They have demonstrated an open hostility to enforcing laws designed to protect law enforcement \u2014 Federal, state, and local \u2014 and reduce crime, and instead have adopted an official policy of protecting criminal aliens who prey on their own residents. This is astounding given the unprecedented violent crime surge in Chicago, with the number of murders in 2016 surpassing both New York and Los Angeles combined. The city\u2019s leaders cannot follow some laws and ignore others and reasonably expect this horrific situation to improve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mayor complains that the federal government\u2019s focus on enforcing the law would require a \u2018reordering of law enforcement practice in Chicago.\u2019 But that\u2019s just what Chicago needs: a recommitment to the rule of law and to policies that rollback the culture of lawlessness that has beset the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration will not simply give away grant dollars to city governments that proudly violate the rule of law and protect criminal aliens at the expense of public safety.
