WATCH A RECORDING OF THE VIRTUAL TOWN HALL
The Trump Administration’s attempt to impose its abusive agenda on Illinois and Chicago continues to raise alarms. Join us on Wednesday, July 22 at 4:00 p.m. to discuss recent distressing developments. Congressman Mike Quigley and ACLU of Illinois Executive Director Colleen Connell will address these matters and answer your questions.
Congressman Quigley will discuss his work to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security’s proposal to create a Citizens Academy in Chicago – where volunteers would be trained on weaponry and in abusive tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And we will discuss efforts to challenge the Trump Administration’s plans to send Department of Homeland Security (DHS) forces to Chicago, raising the spectre of the injuries inflicted by DHS forces on protesters in Portland and on journalists covering those protests and the continued efforts by the Trump Administration to stifle protest and dissent.
You will have the opportunity to submit questions online to our speakers during the event or you can email them directly to events@aclu-il.org.
Please contact us at events@aclu-il.org with any questions.
