As uncertainty continues over the future of undocumented immigrants under a Trump administration, non-federal government officials and lawmakers, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Senator Dick Durbin, are launching a battery of initiatives to protect immigrants.
Morning Shift talks to WBEZ Northside reporter Odette Yousef about the barrage of efforts and how what’s being done in Chicago compares with efforts in New York City and other major U.S. cities.
