A Chicago Democrat says the left is targeting him for proposing a moderate amendment to the city’s strict sanctuary policy forbidding cooperation between police and federal immigration authorities.
Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez says he is taking heat from the more liberal wing of his party for not demonizing President-elect Donald Trump for political gain and trying to find solutions to immigration enforcement that, he argues, better protects the city’s immigrant community. His comments come after his attempt to amend Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance fell flat with fellow lawmakers. (RELATED: Biden’s Immigration Legacy Is ‘Historic’ … For All The Wrong Reasons)
“The left is coming after folks like myself who are trying to find a middle ground,” Lopez stated to NBC News. “Because I’m not trying to make Donald Trump the enemy for the next four years to win my re-election.”
“I’m trying to protect people in the community,” he continued.
