"The President's directive today suggests he is conceding that he cannot legitimately add the citizenship question to the 2020 census. Though today's events represent a victory for our country, we will remain vigilant against attempts to divide our residents and scare our families into the shadows of our society. Any effort to undercut a complete count of every individual affects not only our immigrant communities but also the cities and states in which they live. Chicago will always be a Welcoming City and we will never stop working to ensure the rights of every resident in every community are respected and protected."
