CPD will now investigate immigration operations in the city, following Mayor Brandon Johnson’s new executive order over the weekend.
“ICE on Notice” gives local law enforcement guidelines on how to respond when federal agents violate the law.

Officials say “ICE on Notice” will serve as part of Chicago’s ongoing effort to hold ICE accountable.
