Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins (D) said Thursday that he doubts Chicago would have become a "sanctuary city" if the city knew what it would have meant for the future.
The Windy City has been a sanctuary city since 1985 when then-Mayor Harold Washington issued an executive order prohibiting city employees from asking residents or assisting in investigations related to the "citizenship or residency status of any person." The order also prohibited the city from denying city services to residents based on their citizenship status.
