“The leading reason for police use of force is lack of compliance,” that department member said. “I’m a law enforcement officer. I’ve had people defy things I’ve needed done and had to get physical.” Another officer said the main role for a local police force is to “protect life and property and keep the peace,” so that would include protecting federal immigration enforcement agents if they’re in a bind on the streets.
But where it gets muddled, he said, is during protests, when citizens protesting against ICE and Border Patrol personnel see Chicago police officers protecting the federal officers. He said a normal citizen might think, albeit erroneously in his view, that Chicago police’s efforts in that situation are helping the federal officers with immigration enforcement when they aren’t.
