Untrained, masked, militarized federal forces are inflicting fear and trauma on our streets, acting at the direct orders of President Donald Trump and his allies. This is not law enforcement; it is federal brutality.

Toni has taken a stand to protect Cook County residents from these attacks. As Cook County Board President, she has ensured that County services remain accessible to all residents, regardless of immigration status and has consistently acted to shield our communities from federal overreach.

Toni leads with results, not rhetoric. She’s a leader who takes action with the record to prove it. In 2011, shortly after gaining office, Toni began taking action to stop ICE from terrorizing residents of Cook County. This started with the passage of the Welcoming County ordinance, which ended the County’s previous cooperation with ICE. More recently, Toni joined a petition urging the Chief Judge to ban ICE arrests in and around courthouses, which he did through an administrative order in early October of this year. In addition, Toni issued an executive order that prohibits the use of County owned property, resources, and personnel for civil immigration enforcement activities.

“I am committed to engaging with community organizations and advocacy groups to monitor enforcement practices, address gaps in policy, and provide safe, equitable access to County programs for immigrant communities.” – Toni Preckwinkle
