Scofflaws Rule in Evanston

Scofflaws rule in Evanston. Tribune:

Evanston is poised to approve an ordinance that may make it the first suburban "sanctuary city" in the Chicago area by barring city employees and police from asking about a person's immigration status in most cases.

The City Council's Human Services Committee unanimously approved a draft resolution Monday prohibiting such inquiry unless it is required by law or deemed integral to a police investigation. The resolution also calls on government workers and police to accept a passport or consular card in lieu of a driver's license as proof of identity.

"It's an intent to guide our behavior," said Ald. Cheryl Wollin (1st). "The title of it [includes the words] 'humane and just treatment.' I don't see how anyone can be against humane and just treatment." The resolution is set to come before the City Council as early as February.

Maybe Evanston's neighbors should get a vote in its elections--it's only humane and just. Cuz I said so.

They ignore state law, flout the spirit of FOIA in local governance, and now defy federal law. A bossy, unruly city next door. Total liberals.
