Chicago began campaigning against the trump's immigration policies

Washington, May 22: The city of Chicago began to campaign in response to the threats of President Donald Trump to minimize funding for the cities. Sanctuary City is a broad term applied to jurisdictions with policies to limit cooperation or involvement with federal immigration measures, CNN reports. Many US cities, counties, and some states are eligible for unauthorized policies and laws for "sanctuary". On Sunday afternoon "One Chicago" was founded in response to the growing needs of the city's refugee and immigrant population. 

The campaign slogan reads: "Three million residents, three million stories, one Chicago". Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and several others kicked off the event at the DuSable Museum of African American History. Emmanuel spoke of his grandfather, who journeyed to the US when he was 13 years old. "He came because this country represented something that Moldova would never stand for," CNN quoted Emmanuel as saying. "This country, the place he calls home -- the place my grandfather said without a word of English -- his grandson is the mayor. This is the greatest city in the greatest country in the world."

The Democratic Representative Louis Gutierz also participated in the program and spoke about "a city that allows immigrants to grow immigrants and allow immigrants to really grow up". This campaign "facilitates resources and support for Chicago's residents, including its immigrant and refugee communities."
