Immigration crackdown inspires uniquely Chicago pushback that's now a model for other cities

In Chicago, the ongoing immigration crackdown has sparked significant resistance among residents, who view the federal government's actions as a racist overreach. This local pushback not only highlights the community's resilience but also serves as a potential model for other cities grappling with similar federal policies. The financial decisions made by city officials, such as the Treasurer's boycott of U.S. Treasurys in protest against federal actions, further illustrate the city's unique stance. Additionally, the broader implications of federal policies, including those affecting marginalized groups, resonate with the ongoing struggles faced by various communities, including transgender service members suing the federal government for discrimination.
