So, How Many Sanctuary Cities Are We Talking About?
Nobody really knows. That's the short, slightly unsatisfying answer. Illinois doesn't have a formal "sanctuary city" designation. Instead, some cities have policies that limit cooperation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in certain situations.
Think of it like this: Illinois is like a cool house party with a bunch of friendly people. ICE is the party crasher everyone avoids eye contact with. Some Illinois cities are like, "Hey, we won't physically throw you out, but we also won't help you find ICE's number."
But I Saw a List Online Saying X City is a Sanctuary City!
Here's the thing: those lists can be subjective. There's no single, agreed-upon definition of a "sanctuary city." Some lists might include any city with a policy that makes ICE's job a little trickier. Others might have a stricter criteria.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
So, take those lists with a grain of salt (or maybe some deep dish filling).
