Statement from Mayor Emanuel on Tonight’s Court Ruling to Block President Trump’s Executive Order to Cut Funding from Welcoming Cities

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

“Today’s federal court ruling is another significant win in our fight to stop the Trump administration from unlawfully attempting to force welcoming cities to abandon their values. I'm proud Chicago has been a leader in that fight, and I'm equally proud yet another court has agreed that the Trump Administration's actions were unlawful. We will not be bullied into changing our values, and we cannot be bought by the Trump Administration. Chicago will continue to stand up for all our residents, and the rulings on this issue are proof that we will win.”
