BREAKING NEWS – Chicago, Illinois – Chicago will sue the Trump administration over threats to withhold public safety grant money from sanctuary cities, escalating a pushback against a federal immigration crackdown. The federal lawsuit comes after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the U.S. Justice Department would bar cities from a certain grant program unless they allow immigration authorities unlimited access to local jails and provide 48 hours’ notice before releasing anyone wanted for immigration violations, specifically violent illegal aliens. At a press conference, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel did not mince words. “Many of our republican congressman and senators are battle hardened veterans. So why won’t they go to different parts of this city and make their case in regards to denying us funds? They cannot use the excuse that they are scared to come here, because it is a well established fact that the frontlines of Vietnam and the Gulf War, was just as dangerous as several neighborhoods in Chicago. These republicans are not war heroes, instead they are nothing but a bunch of wimps that are terrified of some stray bullets!”
