Undocumented immigrants worry about their futures despite “sanctuary city” promise from Rahm
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised that Chicago will remain a sanctuary city and will not deport any undocumented immigrants no matter what president-elect Donald Trump threatens. But invited to speak at the mayor’s press conference on the subject Monday, 21-year-old Mexican immigrant Luiz Gomez criticized both Emanuel and U.S. rep Luis Gutierrez for dividing the community by offering protections only to undocumented immigrants without criminal records. “We’re in this crisis because of people like Rep. Gutierrez and Mayor Emanuel, who’ve endorsed a candidate [Hillary Clinton] who has alienated the working class, my community, through your stale neo-liberal policies,” he said. [WBEZ]
