Quotes
Officials only, in order.
On one hand, we say that the welcoming city bars our officers from being involved anywhere near immigration enforcement activity, but at the same time, we want them to be involved enough so that we can use their body cam footage and record what’s going on, particularly when there are issues such as creating perimeters to maintain public safety.Raymond Lopez · Alderperson · Ward 154:10:59
It had not occurred before where ICE, uh, CPD at that point showed up. Uh, there were concerns about a level of coordination, which is what this is about.Andre Vasquez, Jr. · Alderperson · Ward 404:28:32

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
