You make it sound like Rahm spent time on Chicago's sanctuary city status. Chicago has been a sanctuary city since the 80s thanks to Washington and then later Daley who resolidified Washington's policy.

All Rahm had to do was state that Chicago was going to remain a sanctuary city, in addition to kicking a million dollars over to a defense fund. The city set aside $20 million for the property tax abatement program, but hardly anyone applied so the city had $19 million left to spare. They took a million from there. All in all, not a lot of time or energy has been expended by Rahm. Hence why San Francisco is the city suing Trump and not Chicago.
