Immigrant advocacy groups in Chicago have taken legal action against the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by filing a lawsuit. The lawsuit, initiated on Saturday, alleges that the planned deportation raids in the city are retaliatory and infringe upon the First Amendment rights of the immigrant community.
The lawsuit was brought forth by Organized Communities Against Deportation, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and Brighton Park Neighborhood Council. These groups argue that the administration's targeted raids in Chicago, which has sanctuary city status, are a direct violation of their constitutional rights.
