Evanston updated its Welcoming City Ordinance to close loopholes and strengthen protections for immigrants. The new law bans civil immigration enforcement cooperation, limits data sharing, blocks ICE access to city resources, and ensures public services are safe for all residents. It codifies supportive police practices and mandates annual reporting to uphold transparency.
