Episode Details

Chicago is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state – which means local law enforcement is prevented from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as it seeks to deport undocumented immigrants. But the Justice Department pledged to investigate and prosecute local law enforcement and government officials who impede the Trump administration's plans on deportations. Reset explores the legality of the unprecedented step and what it could mean for Chicago with former federal prosecutor Ronald S. Safer.
