Some immigrant rights groups in Chicago have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming the president's plans for immigration raids merely target the city over its sanctuary status and would violate the U.

CHICAGO – A new lawsuit filed against the Trump administration and Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) in federal court aims to stop deportations in Chicago. The suit argues President Donald Trump’s goal of targeting “sanctuary cities” violates the First and Fourth Amendments.

Activists monitoring for immigration arrests said they had seen no activity, but the threat of deportations continues and the local community should remain alert.

The second busiest retail corridor in Chicago is typically a bustling area dotted with taquerias and Mexican grocery stores in the southwestern part of the city. By Monday afternoon it had turned into a ghost town.

The Trump administration’s mass-deportation offensive expanded into Los Angeles Saturday with pre-dawn roundups, part of a West Coast operation expected to run seven days a week, sources told The Post.
