Police get tougher on immigrants – Waukegan, Illinois
Tagged: boycott, Chicago, Illinois, immigrant rights, police, radio
This summer Waukegan found itself in the middle of the debate over immigration when the city applied for a program that would train two local police officers to enforce federal immigration law.
It prompted a massive downtown demonstration by immigrant rights groups in July, and a boycott of businesses that didn’t post signs opposing the application. Advocates of stricter enforcement of immigration laws also took to the streets and lit up the airwaves of conservative talk radio. While most of the demonstrators were local, outside groups on both sides jumped into the fray for saber-rattling over the larger issue of immigration reform.”*
