(Gov Rahm) Emanuel Announces Immigrant Legal Fund
The Chicago Tribune ^ | December 2, 2016 | John Byrne

Posted on 12/02/2016 1:32:49 PM PST by PBRCat

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Friday kept up his postelection push to position himself as a protector of immigrants against President-elect Donald Trump, announcing the creation of a $1 million "legal protection fund" to help those fighting possible deportation.

The fund was created in partnership with the National Immigrant Justice Center to "provide immediate legal information, screenings, consultations and representation to individuals who may be at risk for deportation," according to a news release from Emanuel's office.

The money will come from the $20 million the city set aside for Emanuel's property tax rebate program, according to city spokeswoman Jennifer Martinez.

Is this his way of thwarting Trump or some diabolic way around him?

Actually its just a complete waste of money. The people ICE will be going after are all felons and I don't care which lawyer you buy the law is clear. They are out of here.

The property tax rebate fund is already a give away program.
Rebates given to people who do not support the tax pool.
Middle class whites in Chicago paying more taxes than ever but on property tax relief.

It’s a scam feeding another scam.

Is it any wonder people are leaving the city, leaving Illinois?

He is stealing money to help people illegaly in this country for the express purpose of voter fraud.

I am guessing that a real law and order guy could jail this Emanuel.

What’s it called when public employees break the law? Oh, that’s right, some pigs are more equal than others...

Wonder if any judge in IL will allow any case to go forward vs. the State aiding/abetting criminal activity and making the TAXPAYERS foot the bill to boot.

Talk about salt in the wound.

I guess taxpayers in Chicago will be thrilled to be paying the legal bills for illegal aliens.

If someone got killed by an illegal who was funded by this fund, could the survivors sue the fund out of existence?

I don't know but then, I've always wondered why cities that declare themselves sanctuary cities aren't legally liable for the actions of illegal alien criminals they are protecting in violation of the law. A few cities getting sued for millions of dollars repeatedly would solve that problem pronto.

I live about 10 miles from Chicago. I hope that, on Jan. 23, Trump will tell ICE to send more agents to sanctuary cities, since they can find, arrest, and deport more illegals in those cities, compared to cities where the police departments already help ICE catch illegals.
