Chicago Mayor's Executive Order Targets Companies Helping the Deportation Campaign

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed a wide-ranging executive order meant to keep corporations that carry out corrupt or abusive practices — including inhumanely assisting aggressive federal deportation campaigns — from doing business with the city. Citing an “unprecedented level of corporate corruption” nationally, the three-pronged order prohibits contracts and subcontracts with companies found to have committed such abuses and requires vendors to disclose immigration enforcement contracts.
