CHICAGO -- Hispanic activists are accusing Chicago police of turning over suspected illegal immigrants to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency despite city and county bans on such activity.

Community activst Jorge Mujica told a Chicago City Council committee that in one case, a working man who was picked up for driving without a license has been jailed for five months. The man's wife, who spoke through a translator, said Tuesday that has left her and her two sons on their own.

Alderman Daniel Solis, who called for the hearing, suggested county jail guards or assistant state's attorneys might be turning in the immigrants. A spokesman for the sheriff's department said guards aren't allowed to assist ICE in going after immigrants.

ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro told the Chicago Tribune federal agents are stationed in county court to review arrest records.

DO WE HAVE ENOUGH, ICE

It`s about time they start doing something in Chicago. We are totally over run with illegals. I don`t even want to work here anymore, all the factory workers speak spanish and I refuse to learn or speak it. I can`t stand it anymore.
