info_outlineFor 15 years Toni Preckwinkle has been Cook County’s Commission President. An impressive run and she has done impressive work.
Currently, Chicago is on the front line of a power struggle between the federal governments deploying ICE agents and National Guard troops in American Cities. As of this show’s release, a federal just has blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago. President Preckwinkle has called the possible deployments, “a dangerous and reckless abuse of power” and “it’s fear tactics it and illegal use of power dressed up as law and order.” She also spoke out in support of a state court judge’s ruling that ICE agents can not make arrests inside Chicago courthouses. She said, “ICE enforcement has become increasingly violent, inhumane and unlawful. These tactics are unacceptable and un-American.” Last week she signed an executive order banning ICE agents from working in or around any Cook County property, including staging areas or for making arrests.
Toni Preckwinkle is a leader. Listen to her updates on how she is delivering good government in Chicago.
Read Cook County Commission President Toni Preckwinkle’s statements about a judge’s decision to so far, not allow National Guard troops to patrol Chicago’s streets and her stand on ICE agents making arrests outside of Cook County courthouses.
