The Waukegan City Council and Mayor Sam Cunningham have approved Resolution 25-R-281, which sets a new policy prohibiting the use of city property for federal civil immigration enforcement activities. Under this resolution, city-owned facilities cannot serve as staging areas, processing sites, or operational bases for federal immigration authorities.
City officials say this measure is intended to reinforce trust between residents and local government, regardless of immigration status. “The City of Waukegan is here to build trust, not barriers,” the statement reads.
The full text of the resolution is available on the city’s board documents website at https://go.boarddocs.com/il/cowil/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DMNRYH70342B.
