Episode: Chicago and Illinois have sanctuary laws to protect undocumented migrants
Description: Chicago is a sanctuary city — that means local law enforcement can’t collaborate with federal immigration officials when they try to enforce immigration laws, including deportations.
Illinois has a similar policy.

WBEZ’s immigration reporter Adriana Cardona Maguigad joins me to explain what sanctuary laws actually do and what they don’t do.
