Rahm Attacks Jeff Sessions Letter: "Chicago's values and Chicago's future are not for sale.”

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Neither the Chicago Police Department nor the Cook County Sheriff’s Office cooperates fully with ICE. For example, the sheriff does not allow agents access to Cook County Jail.

Frank Shuftan, a spokesman for Preckwinkle, said Friday’s letter did not change the county’s footing.

“We have now seen a copy of the letter,” Shuftan wrote in an email Friday. “Cook County is aware of this new requirement for federal grant funding, first announced under a prior administration. It remains our position that the County complies with all applicable federal laws.”

Emanuel issued a statement: “We've seen the letter from DOJ. Neither the facts nor the law are on their side. Regardless, let me be clear: Chicago's values and Chicago's future are not for sale.”
Rahm is one funny guy since most Chicago politicians got into to politics to make money!
