<p>Niloofar –</p>
<p>The Midwest office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Chicago recently announced intentions to host a Citizens Academy, a program designed to teach and train residents from several states about the work carried out by ICE against immigrants.</p>
<p>Invitees to the training were told that they would "participate in scenario-based training and exercises conducted in a safe and positive environment, including, but not limited to <strong>defensive tactics, firearms familiarization, and targeted arrests."</strong></p>

<p>Over the past couple of years, we have seen how ICE agents work in Illinois and other states – using racial profiling and militaristic actions to separate families and destroy the lives of too many in our areas. We should not be training residents on carrying out these enforcement tactics on our immigrant neighbors.</p>
<p>In Illinois, we have taken measures to welcome immigrants and newcomers, specifically rejecting the type of militarized enforcement advanced by the Trump Administration. Illinois law keeps state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal immigration law; average residents should not be part of this enforcement.</p>
<p>We do not want this sort of unaccountable immigration enforcement in our communities. ICE is promising to use Chicago as a "model" for the rest of the country.</p>
