Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) said Tuesday that the Windy City will continue to welcome "Dreamers," despite President Trump’s decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

“To all the Dreamers that are here in this room, and in the city of Chicago, you are welcomed in the city of Chicago. This is your home and you have nothing to worry about,” Emanuel said in a prepared statement.

“Chicago, our schools, our neighborhoods, our city, as it relates to what President Trump said, will be a Trump-free zone. You have nothing to worry about,” Emanuel continued.

“So, to all those who are part of what are referred to as DACA, or ‘Dreamers’, you will always be ‘Dreamers’ in the eyes of the city of Chicago because you have big dreams and we wan to be a part of those dreams,” Emanuel said.

4. I'm really hoping that Rahm is the one that says "Fuck you" to Trump on camera

Cause we've needed to be there for awhile now instead of pretending that the norms work in all of this.

5. #45's little games won't mean a thing if mayors all around the country do the same thing

Trump will be out in 2018 at least. Until then those ICE agents could be quite crippled in their movements

7. Rham -- that's so gangsta!
