Protect our communties and country as a whole from abuses of authority.

      In light of recent events, of course not limited to but surely addressing the documented federal overreach and abuses of power by ICE, compliant INA 287(g) police and their militant supporters, the public invokes a moratorium on all ICE and alike activity until 287(g) officers and ICE are stripped of Qualified Immunity so as to hold them accountable fully for their heinous and inhumane headhunting. There are only 7 states with laws in place in an attempt to protect us from these racially charged, targeted and exceedingly anonymous acts against public safety. 

     This is a letter I wrote to as many Illinois Representatives as i could find (many bounced). Aside from this petition, I urge you to copy and paste, change the name of the city to yours and send to as many of you representatives as well There is reference to an Illinois specific legislation, but perhaps that may serve as an example of like minded legislation potential. 

*Community Protection Act – Chicago

6/22/25

      Dear Mayor Brandon Johnson, City City Clerk Anna. M. Valencia, Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, City Council, Aldermen & Committees as well as other taller voices among the crowd, 

      We, the People of the City of Chicago propose a Community Protection Act of the following measures, implored out of deep concern for the general public safety. 

- Revoke officers compliant or conspiring with ICE of qualified immunity which would free up resources to reallocate toward those harmed by these abuses as well as hold them accountable for their crimes against humanity. 
- Uphold public safety and TRUST!
- Prohibited activities and Sanctuary zones to ensure ICE’s compliance with its own documented limitations. 
- A full audit and registry of ICE agents and co-conspirators so they may not hide behind anonymity or private paramilitary.
- Fully funded Legal defense and response/ recovery units for those harmed by these infringements and the unconstitutional detainment and detention of the People, migrant or Native. 

     The people demand that our city do not cooperate with ICE, especially, but not limited to signing a 287(g) agreement. There will be no INA agreement and a revocation of qualified immunity. 

     By the power of our country’s 10th amendment you have a constitutional right to refuse to cooperate with homeland terror employed by, compliant with or impersonating ICE.  Furthermore Court Case Law : Printz v. United States of 1997 would reiterate that the federal government can not force state or local officers to enforce federal laws. It is a constitutional obligation on multiple fronts to refuse to cooperate. 

      By the power of the 4th amendment, the people must be protected against unreasonable search and seizures conducted under judicial warrant (not administrative as they do not meet 4th amendment standard). Ignoring this right deteriorates any potential of trust in the presence of integral relationship to the People. Not only are these seizures uncostitutional but employ racially charged and criminal war activity targeting specific areas. This is why the People demand designated sanctuaries and to effectively and immediately bar ICE and its co-conspirators from City, Public or Private property without the required, amendment compliant judicial warrant. 

      We the People demand a transparent audit and prohibition of illegal or informal collaborations as well as a public registry of all ICE agents, as CPD already complies, including criminal history and career infractions. The immigration and Nationality act should instead be a reminder of ones’ nationality to the People and not homeland terror. There is ample documentation among the public of ICE agents infringing on their own guidelines as reaffirmed in 2021, including but not limited to limiting enforcement in sensitive locations which has indeed been infringed upon as well as racial targeting. Schools, hospitals, libraries, government buildings, immigration offices, places of work and neighborhoods with predominant minorities or historically regarded as immigrant worker or sundown towns shall be protected not targeted. A request for moratorium on ICE activity on Public, Private and City property should also be effective immediately alongside NO INA 287(g) until further action is taken to safeguard Chicagoans, migrant or Native. 

      The Civil Rights Act of 1964-title VI would also compel us to recognize racial targeting and discrimination that fuel these criminal raids and further emboldens hate crimes amongst its own led by the government’s regressive acts on display against it’s people. These organizations, ICE and its federal overreach and rogue enforcement activities and groups are being abused and inciting terror and unrest antithetical to their own stated and documented legal purpose. 

      I have used the word “trust” hoping to remind you of the Illinois TRUST Act (SB31, 2017) which ought to be preventing state and local law enforcement from detaining people solely based on immigration status or ICE detainers. Surely this Act was written for this very reason and ought to be invoked thoroughly as an example to other local and state governments unsure which way to move or who to follow. We have a chance to make history in a whole new way, again. 

      The next generation, these children that are being traumatized, terrorized and harmed- we have an obligation to protect and ensure their wellbeing. Not just by our own moral compass agreement or Chicago’s own child-centered protections but by United Nations Convention standards on The Rights of the Child. 

      I’m sure you all have many feelings about this too, which is why I will remind you that by Chicago v. Sessions in 2018 the federal government cannot withhold grant funds for your refusal to collaborate with rogue enforcement and abusive conduct by federal agents.  In the form of the federal government for the sake of public safety and the safety of the very people that made this city what it is. I come with this proposal for all of our safety and wellbeing in these dark times. 

      Your community is shaken, thoroughly betrayed and medically traumatized through these fear based tactics. The obligation of this country is to honor its people, not terrorize them and orphan children en masse further destabilizing generations. If we continue down this path with no attempts to protect the trust and integrity of this city the financial, social and general health wounds of the People will surely deepen and widen, digging a debt based hole. We ought not sacrifice how far we’ve come for mere compliance, silent where justice ought to be. 

     We, the People, look foreward to your actions toward necessary, lawful, constitutional action and TRUST in these ways. Even ICE quotes itself as being for public safety, surely then this is the goal we can agree and build on. I know that ingrained in this country is it’s honor to the family structure and remain hopeful that it will find that integrity again underneath this counterintuitive tearing apart of family and structure and its festering wound on our collective present and history. 

      A readily attainable step, aside from NO 287(g) would be to publicly endorse, amplify and elevate the initiative via your office’s communications channels in the National and international eye.  

      We have faith in a Chicago leadership that upholds dignity, due process, and public trust in our city rather than stand idly by while the American Dream is snuffed out. I look forward to discussing this further at a scheduled public hearing.

Sincerely,

Blair Childers
