The American city of Chicago is against Trump’s deportation policy. “Know your rights”, for example, is on notes that glue on lantern masts. It is explained what to do if officials of the US police and immigration authority (ICE) are coming.
For example, the situation must be filmed, the situation is filmed and nothing needs to be signed. The information campaign clarifies migrants in different languages about their rights, for example on screens in buses and trains. Chicago has been following this policy since the 1980s and, for example, does not pass on migration -related data to ICE. The idea behind it: anyone who must fear that every check will lead to deportation may not report any crimes to the police.
Another form of the protest is the “Hyde Park Refugee Project” in the church. Originally a few families must be made easier to integrate. In the meantime, volunteers also offer emergency aid. Pastor Jonathan, for example, has set up a store in the basement and set up a weekly contact point for free clothing and household goods. Moreover, voluntary practical aid offer offers, for example in the case of asylum procedures. Many customers come from Colombia, Mexico, the Congo and Sierra Leone.
Church as a meeting place
But many locals would also use the offer, the pastor said. Bridges would be created. People drink coffee, learn English and bring their children. With Trump’s second term, the uncertainty now spreads, even with those who actually have no reason to worry. “We don’t let ourselves be paralyzed,” said Pastor Jonathan.
The US Department of Justice accuses Chicago of preventing the enforcement of federal law. Illinois and New York were also targeted. Trump sends a tough race: the Republican stamps migrants from poorer countries such as criminals. He instructed ice to raid on schools, hospitals and churches. Valued over eleven million people who currently live in the United States without valid newspapers. Many of them work in gastronomy or agriculture. Previous American governments in particular pushed the perpetrators.
