The heated confrontations occurred as members of the council attempted to put together a quorum to discuss the ongoing crisis over finding housing for migrants being bused into ChicagoChicago's 35th Ward Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa will step down as Mayor Brandon Johnson's Floor Leader after chaos broke out during a heated hearing in City Council last week wherein Ramirez-Rosa was accused of physically blocking one of his colleagues from the chamber.
I feel awful about everything that happened. I have reached out to my colleagues to apologize directly and seek to make amends. I made mistakes, and I learned valuable lessons. I take full responsibility for what I've done. According to multiple members of the City Council, including Ald. Raymond Lopez, Ald. Carlos Ramirez-Rosa kept an alderperson from reaching the floor Thursday while a quorum call was going on in the chamber.
Chaos was the order of the day in the Chicago City Council on Thursday, with a special meeting convened to discuss “sanctuary city” status proceeding in fits and starts amid parliamentary maneuvers and outright hostility. Charlie Wojciechowski has the details.“I am thoroughly disgusted and infuriated by floor leader Ramirez-Rosa harassing and manhandling my colleague,” he said. “No man has the right to lay hands on anyone, let alone grab a woman and physically block her from exiting.
Ramirez-Rosa, who was tasked with whipping up support for the mayor to turn back the challenge, says that squabbles over “sanctuary city” status have nothing to do with providing material support for migrants, as “sanctuary city” status refers to cooperating with federal law enforcement as they ascertain whether individuals are in the country legally.
