According to an internal department memo obtained by Fox News, the Chicago Police Department advised their officers not to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security, in situations involving immigration arrests.

The memo said, instead of assisting DHS, officers are instructed to wait for their supervisor to arrive. “If the request is to assist with an immigration arrest or detention, CPD personnel will leave the scene as directed by the CPD supervisor.”
