Sin embargo, varios sindicatos policiales expresaron su desacuerdo, asegurando que la restricción “podría limitar la capacidad de respuesta ante disturbios o actos violentos”.<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#0000ff;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">For its part, the Department of Homeland Security stated that it will comply with the order while conducting an internal review of its protocols for conducting demonstrations. However, several police unions expressed their disagreement, stating that the restriction “could limit the ability to respond to riots or acts of violence.”<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">En las últimas semanas, Chicago ha sido epicentro de intensas protestas por las redadas migratorias y la separación de familias en centros de detención.
