- City Hall agrees to comply with Department of Justice request for immigration documents - The city of Chicago has agreed to hand over the immigration documents requested by the Department of Justice under threat of subpoena, according to the Sun-Times. “We have seen too many examples of the threat to public safety represented by jurisdictions that actively thwart the federal government’s immigration enforcement—enough is enough,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. When the city does give the DOJ the documents, they will include a recent order by a federal judge siding with Chicago on the issue of sanctuary cities, according to Emanuel spokesman Adam Collins.
