[Q]uestion: should Chicago remain a sanctuary city, a status it has held since 1985? The debate has resulted in chaos, including Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa stepping down from their role as floor leader of the City Council. The people backing the move to end sanctuary status are using the recent influx of 20,000 migrants as rationale. But since many of those arriving in Chicago are asylum seekers, or carry Temporary Protected Status, they would continue to qualify for federal protections. At its core, the fight is the same as the fight everywhere: whether the ongoing demonization of immigrants will continue, or whether undocumented people will have some protections.
