A coalition including Chicago business, faith and municipal leaders announced a nationwide campaign to press the White House to extend work permits to undocumented immigrants who are long-term residents of the U.S.
On the first anniversary of his election as mayor, Johnson touted a letter he signed with leaders from other cities urging Biden to push harder for more work permits for immigrants. "We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities to our long-term undocumented brothers and sisters," Johnson said.
