Tagged: Chicago, deportation, Illinois, protestPosted on: July 17th, 2007“Despite the presence of opponents inside and protesters outside its chambers, the Waukegan City Council voted Monday to stand by a controversial decision to join federal efforts to deport violent undocumented offenders.
The vote to back the councils decision last month to expand immigration powers and deportation proceedings was 8-2, with Mayor Richard Hyde making a special point of voting to support the measure.
“I feel wonderful,” Hyde said in an interview after the vote. “This is one of the best things that has happened to this city.”"
