El Alcalde Brandon Johnson y la CTA Lanzan la Campaa Publicitaria Conozca Sus Derechos en Pantallas de Video en Todo Chicago

In a significant move to protect immigrant rights, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) have unveiled the “Conozca sus derechos” advertising campaign. This initiative is designed to educate residents on their rights during interactions with federal immigration agents, specifically the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Displayed on over 400 video screens across the CTA transit network, the advertisements direct passengers to a resource-rich website available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and French.

Mayor Johnson highlighted Chicago's identity as a welcoming city, affirming the administration's commitment to inclusivity and support for all individuals. The CTA president, Dorval R. Carter, Jr. , reinforced the message, stating that the transit system is dedicated to upholding constitutional rights. The website not only offers information for those facing ICE-related issues but also includes a locator tool for verifying custody status, legal guidance, and contact details for immigration assistance.

By providing these resources, the campaign aims to empower Chicagoans, ensuring they are informed about their rights and options. This proactive approach reflects a broader commitment to social justice and community support in the face of federal immigration enforcement.
