The Cook County Board rejected Tuesday an attempt to make the county an immigrant-friendly government by forbidding its employees from investigating or asking about anyone's immigration status.

"I'm not going to give up," Maldonado (D-Chicago) said. "I'm going to bring it back. ... When we fought for civil rights legislation, it did not happen overnight."
