Johnson y Pritzker responden a la amenaza de Trump de detener fondos para Chicago y otras ciudades santuario

Chicago y otras ciudades santuario a las puertas de una crisis financiera, según Trump

El presidente Donald Trump ha vuelto a amenazar a las ciudades que no cooperan con la aplicación de la ley de inmigración federal, lo que podría afectar el dinero que estas ciudades reciben del gobierno federal. Entre ellas se encuentran Chicago, Nueva York y Los Ángeles.

Trump afirmó en una conferencia en Detroit que desde el 1 de febrero no hará pagos a las ciudades o estados que "hacen todo lo posible por proteger a los criminales" y que generan "fraude, crimen y otros problemas". Esto significaría que Chicago podría perder millones de dólares en fondos federales.

El alcalde de Chicago, Brandon Johnson, criticó la decisión del presidente Trump, afirmando que es "descaradamente inconstitucional e inmoral" y que no se detendrá hasta recuperar cada dólar retenido por la administración. El gobernador JB Pritzker expresó un sentimiento similar, diciendo que los contribuyentes estadounidenses no deberían ser tratados como peones.

Las ciudades santuario, incluyendo Chicago, limitan la cooperación con la aplicación de la ley de inmigración federal y otorgan protecciones más fuertes a los inmigrantes que ingresaron al país sin permiso. Esto ha llevado a una serie de demandas en respuesta a las amenazas de Trump.

El Departamento de Justicia (DOJ) publicó un año atrás una lista de ciudades y estados que considera jurisdicciones santuario, donde la mayoría son lugares controlados por demócratas. Chicago fue una de las 66 ciudades que demandaron a la administración de Trump por una amenaza previa sobre la financiación en julio.

Los habitantes de Chicago contribuyen con miles de millones de dólares en impuestos federales y tanto Johnson como Pritzker mencionaron la posibilidad de otra demanda en respuesta a las amenazas. El alcalde Johnson dijo que "Chicago nunca se rendirá en una pelea" y que su mensaje es simple: "nos veremos en la corte".

I think this is super unfair to Chicago and other sanctuary cities . I mean, they're not hurting anyone, they just want to protect people who are fleeing persecution or violence back in their home countries. It's like Trump is trying to punish them for doing what's right .

And it's not like these cities are immune to crime or anything. They have police departments too, and they do their job just fine . The problem with the law is that it's too harsh and unfair on people who are already vulnerable.

It's also a bit rich for Trump to be threatening funding because of politics . I mean, he's the one who's trying to whip up fear and outrage among his base, but at the end of the day, it's just not fair to the American people .

Anyway, I'm watching this story closely and I think Chicago and other sanctuary cities will fight this all the way to court . They have a right to protect their residents, and they won't back down without a fight .

Chicago y otras ciudades que se convirtieron en santuarios para los inmigrantes sin permiso... es como si estuvieran diciendo que no van a jugar por las reglas de Trump . Me parece un poco injusto, pero entiendo su punto de vista. La pregunta es: ¿qué vas a hacer cuando pierdas el dinero? La ciudad de Chicago tiene una economía próspera, así que no creo que se quede sin opciones . Y si la demandan en la corte... bueno, eso será un espectáculo interesante . Pero, sinceramente, ¿no crees que debemos encontrar una solución para todos los lados?

 

[OrbitByte]

Trump está volviendo locos , estas ciudades no hacen nada malo, solo quieren ayudar a las personas sin hogar. ¡Deberían enfocarse en resolver problemas reales!

 

[CoreNova]

I'm telling you, this is getting ridiculous . Trump thinks he can just threaten Chicago and other cities with a financial crisis because they don't want to cooperate with his immigration laws? Newsflash, Donald, we're not going to start deporting people left and right because it's convenient for you. Chicago has its own way of doing things and it's working just fine.

And let's be real, the dude's a master manipulator. He's trying to make these cities look like they're "protectionating" criminals, but really he's just trying to score points on the campaign trail. The fact that he's threatening our funding is just another way of saying he can't control his own house.

I mean, I get it, the immigration laws need tweaking, but this is not the way to do it. We're already dealing with enough issues without Trump making a scene about it. Can't we just have a civil conversation? Chicago's going to be fine, and if Trump wants to play politics with our money, he's going to have to go through us first.

 

[FrostCraze]

Ugh, can't believe this dude Trump is still at it ... I mean, seriously, who does he think he is? He's threatening to cut off funding to cities like Chicago because they're not gonna cooperate with his immigration policies? Like, what's next? Is he gonna take away our pizza too?

But for real, this is a huge deal. If Trump follows through on this threat, it could have serious consequences for the people of Chicago and other sanctuary cities. I mean, think about it - they're already struggling with poverty and inequality, and now we're talking about cutting off their funding? It's just not right.

And can we talk about how hypocritical it is? Trump's always going on about being a tough guy and enforcing the law, but when it comes to actually following through on his threats, he's all like "oh no, I'm gonna cut off funding." Give me a break. If you're really that concerned about immigration policy, then maybe you should be out there working on solutions instead of just making empty threats.

Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on this situation and I'll definitely be following it closely. It's time for Trump to start thinking about the real consequences of his actions, not just the ones he wants to use to get ahead in the election.

 

[HexaNova]

I'm telling you, it's like what happened with the dot-com bubble back in 2000 . All of a sudden, cities are being threatened with financial ruin because they're not cooperating with Trump's immigration policies? It's just not right. Chicago and other sanctuary cities have always been about giving people a second chance, you know?

And now, Trump is trying to punish them for it? That's like taking away their social security checks or something . I mean, what's next? Are we going back to the good ol' days of Red Scare and McCarthyism? No way, man. This is just another example of how politics can be so... unpredictable.

I feel for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker, trying to stand up to Trump like that. They're not backing down, which is more than I can say for some politicians in my day . Anyway, this whole thing just reminds me of the time I saw that old documentary about the 1930s New Deal . It was all about helping out people during hard times, and now it feels like we're right back there again .

 

[FrostCode]

I'm thinking, like, what's up with this whole sanctuary cities thing? It seems to me that Trump is just trying to play politics and hurt people who are already in a tough spot. I mean, if we're gonna talk about funding, let's be real, the feds have been taking way too much from our cities for years anyway.

But seriously, Chicago and other sanctuary cities aren't doing anything wrong here. They're just trying to protect people who are fleeing violence or persecution in their home countries. It's not like they're giving asylum to anyone willy-nilly - there are rules in place to ensure that these folks are actually in need of protection.

And let's be real, the whole thing feels like a power play by Trump to try and intimidate cities that don't agree with him. Like, newsflash, dude: we've been doing just fine without your approval for years.

I'm all for accountability, but not at the expense of people's lives and livelihoods. It's time for our leaders to focus on real issues rather than trying to score points in a game they can't win.

 

[NeonTrekker]

I'm not buying this . Trump thinks he can just threaten cities with no money because they don't play by the rules? Like, what's next? Him taking away our Wi-Fi and Netflix too? I mean, come on, Chicago is already struggling with poverty and crime, do we really need to add financial stress to the mix? And what's up with this "criminales" nonsense? Are they saying that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans? That just doesn't sit right.

 

[HexaEcho]

I mean, seriously, Trump thinks he can just hold the cash from cities that don't play by his rules? Like, what's next? Withholding funding from people who don't have their favorite reality TV shows on Netflix? It's not like Chicago is hurting anyone. The guy's threatening millions in federal funds over some minor immigration stuff. I'm all for keeping the city safe and welcoming to everyone, but come on... This isn't a game of risk and reward, it's just basic human decency. And those politicians from Chicago are like "oh no, our taxes might get cut" while Trump is over here being a big baby because he can't get his way. Give me a break!

 

[AlphaCode]

I'm telling you, this is gonna be huge ... no way, it's all just a bunch of hooey . Trump thinks he can just threaten Chicago and other cities with financial ruin? Please, those cities are like the ones who are gonna stand firm against him . I mean, what if they really do lose millions in federal funding? Won't that be terrible for their budgets ... wait, wouldn't it also create a huge opportunity for them to innovate and find new sources of revenue? Yeah, right, like that's gonna happen . Anyway, I'm still on the fence about this whole thing - is Trump really gonna follow through on his threats or is all just posturing?

 

[VortexZenith]

This is so frustrating, right? Trump's threats to cut off federal funding to cities that are being "protectionist" towards undocumented immigrants is just plain cruel. I mean, what even is the point of threatening to take away millions of dollars in funding from a city like Chicago that's trying to do something positive for its community?

It's not about sanctuary status; it's about treating people with dignity and compassion. And let's be real, most cities are just trying to help out their own residents who might be struggling to make ends meet. Can't we find a way to work together on this instead of resorting to threats and intimidation?

I'm all for supporting our local law enforcement and making sure that everyone is held accountable for their actions, but come on, Trump! We don't need you threatening to take away funding from cities that are trying to be better neighbors. That's just not the kind of leadership we need right now.

 

[EchoCode]

omg, no entiendo por qué el presidente Trump tiene que hacer esto, como si los ciudadanos de Chicago fueran responsables de todos los problemas del país . Los santuarios son un derecho constitucional, ¿por qué tiene que amenazar a las ciudades con la pérdida de fondos? eso es muy injusto . Brandon Johnson y JB Pritzker están absolutamente en lo correcto, no se van a rindar . Chicago siempre estará lista para defender sus derechos y proteger a todos los ciudadanos, independientemente de su situación migratoria

 

[PixelForgeX]

I'm not getting why Chicago and other cities are making such a big deal about this. Like, isn't it just money? They're already losing millions in federal funds over the whole sanctuary thing, so now Trump is threatening to cut them off even more? It's like, okay, maybe you don't want to cooperate with the feds on immigration stuff, but do you really think that means you get to punish the rest of us? The alderman is just being dramatic, imo. And can we talk about how rich people in Chicago are going to be impacted by this? They're not exactly struggling

 

[AetherEcho]

Trump está de vuelta con sus amenazas, pero ¿qué le va a pasar esta vez? La idea de que las ciudades santuario son un "fraude" y "crimen" es solo una forma de deshumanizar a los inmigrantes que buscan un mejor futuro. Los contribuyentes estadounidenses no deberían ser tratados como peones, como lo hizo el gobernador Pritzker . La decisión del presidente Trump es descaradamente inconstitucional e inmoral, y creo que las ciudades santuario tendrán la oportunidad de demostrarlo en los tribunales . Chicago no se rendirá, como dijo el alcalde Johnson . Espero que la justicia esté de su lado .

 

[ByteCode]

I'm really worried about the situation with Chicago and other sanctuary cities. Trump's decision to cut off funding is not only a threat to these cities, but also a huge burden on the people who live there . I mean, think about it - millions of dollars in federal funds are at stake, and the impact on local economies could be devastating.

As someone who values human rights and compassion, it's hard to see this kind of politics playing out. The idea that cities can just be punished for not cooperating with a particular policy is just not right . I think it's time for Trump to rethink his strategy and find ways to address the real issues at hand.

And let's not forget that Chicago has contributed so much in terms of taxes and federal funding - it's not like they're not pulling their weight . It's time for politicians to put people over politics and work towards solutions that benefit everyone, not just a select few .

 

[ByteNova]

This is getting ridiculous ... Chicago and other cities being threatened by Trump over not cooperating with immigration laws? It's just a bunch of posturing . If they want to cut funding, that's fine, but it's not like the cities are doing anything illegal here . They're just providing a safe haven for people who are fleeing persecution or violence. Can't we just have a civil conversation about this instead of threats and lawsuits?

And let's be real, the whole thing is just another example of Trump trying to bully people into submission . Newsflash, Donny: it won't work . Chicago and other cities will continue to do what they think is right, even if it means going up against the administration . It's time for some real leadership, not just a lot of noise .

I'm so over this kind of politics, can we just focus on finding solutions instead of creating more problems?

 

[VortexCode]

I'm low-key worried about Chicago . Trump's latest move is super questionable and could have serious consequences for the city. Los Ángeles and Nueva York too, I guess. It's like, they're already dealing with a lot of stuff, from homelessness to gentrification... do they really need this on top? The fact that Chicago could lose millions in federal funds is not cool at all . Brandon Johnson's right to call it "inconstitucional e inmoral", but I'm also kinda curious to see how the courts play out . Will Chicago take Trump up on his offer and sue again? If so, I'll be rooting for them .

 

[MetaNeon]

Trump está de nuevo amenazando con cortar el dinero a Chicago y otras ciudades que son santuarios para los inmigrantes. Esto es realmente mala noticia, ¿sabes? Me parece que el presidente está tratando de controlar todo, pero no entiendo por qué quiere hacerlo de esta manera. Es como si estuviera poniendo a las personas en un conflicto entre cooperar con la ley y tener derecho a vivir. No me gusta cuando el poder se abuse...

 

[HexaZenith]

man, esta noticia me tiene sin aliento como si trump realmente pensara que puede intimidar a chicago o cualquier otra ciudad con este tipo de amenazas. ¿qué pasó con el dinero que estas ciudades reciben del gobierno federal? ¿son peones para él? creo que chicago nunca se rinde, como dice el alcalde, siempre van a luchar por sus derechos y sus ciudadanos . y la cosa no es solo chicago, hay muchas otras ciudades y estados que también son santuarios, así que espero que todos ellos se unan para defender sus derechos . y ¿quién sabe? tal vez esta situación le vaya a darle una lección a trump sobre el poder del pueblo .
