Tagged: Chicago, crime, family, Illinois, policePosted on: June 28th, 2007“Fear was the dominant emotion in a mostly Hispanic crowd of about 1,500 at a meeting in a Waukegan church Wednesday night on the citys plan to certify police officers in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Waukegan police said another 5,000 or so people were outside Holy Family Catholic Church during the town hall session, unable to get inside because of fire code regulations. Some in the crowd periodically banged on church doors.”
