CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the Supreme Court’s decision allowing the Trump administration to partially enforce its 90-day ban on travelers from six majority-Muslim countries is “deeply concerning.”
Emanuel said in a Monday statement that Chicago officials remain opposed to the “ill-conceived and discriminatory ban” and Chicago will continue to be a welcoming city to immigrants. Chicago has been a so-called “sanctuary city” for decades and city officials have worked to strengthen immigrant protections since Donald Trump assumed the presidency.
Emanuel was a onetime White House chief of staff under former President Barack Obama.
