Borderless Magazine’s engagement reporter, Diane Bou Khalil, spoke to <\/span>Alderman Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez<\/span><\/a> about Chicago’s new Welcoming City ordinance, which provides expanded protections to immigrants, on Feb. 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

“For a very long time in Chicago we’ve been saying that we are a Sanctuary City, but that means that we are a place where immigrants feel safe, where people who do not have documents feel that they can have a home. That they don’t have to be scared of being apprehended by any government institution, but particularly by police,” said\u00a0Rodriguez-Sanchez, who represents Chicago\u2019s 33rd Ward.<\/span> “There is a history of collaboration between police and [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] across the United States. In Chicago we have been fighting very hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. There is a Welcoming City ordinance in Chicago that throughout the years has become stronger, but it still had several loopholes that allowed for collaboration between [the Chicago Police Department] and ICE.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

Rodriguez-Sanchez said that the newly passed Welcoming City ordinance closed those loopholes. <\/span>Watch the full interview to learn more:<\/p>\n
