Emanuel's latest immigration move: A task force to come up with a website

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday made his latest announcement on the immigrant rights front: a task force that will create a website.

The "Chicago Is With You" group will be led by three Illinois Democrats who've been vocal about President-elect Donald Trump's threats to deport millions of immigrants in the country illegally: the mayor, U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Chicago and Sen. Dick Durbin of Springfield. The group will work to set up a website that will serve as a clearinghouse of sorts for information about immigration resources.


The site also will try to connect so-called Dreamers — those who benefited from President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that offered legal protection to about 742,000 people who were brought to the U.S. as children and stayed here illegally — with volunteers who will try to get them information about their immigration status and other questions, according to a news release from the mayor's office.

Task forces often are ways for public officials to try to prove to constituents they are taking a problem seriously. This one will "collaborate on mental health, legal services, diversity training for employers, and education to ensure the city is delivering comprehensive services to immigrant, refugees and other disenfranchised communities," according to the news release.

Attention Jeff Sessions: this looks like a RICO enterprise to violate federal immigration law.
