Commissioner Sean Morrison, a member of the Cook County Board, used his social media platform to express his opposition to a recent board resolution regarding federal law enforcement. On September 18, 2025, Morrison stated that he was the sole dissenting vote against a measure passed by the board.

In his post from September 18, Morrison wrote, "Today, the Cook County Board passed a resolution denouncing federal ICE agents. I was the only dissenting vote. This resolution is clearly partisan in nature. It makes sweeping conflations, relies on unverified allegations, and paints an entire federal law enforcement agency as".

Morrison followed up with another message on September 19, greeting his followers with " hello https://t.co/Yd95NsbIqq".

Later that morning, Morrison posted about broader ethical concerns: "Good morning, happy Friday. Given the events of the past few weeks, and the response of the masses, I have only one observant truth: The condoning of evil, is objectively wrong."

The resolution referenced by Morrison reflects ongoing debates within local governments over cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Such measures are often part of larger discussions about immigration policy and local-federal relations. The Cook County Board has previously enacted policies limiting cooperation with ICE as part of its stance on protecting immigrant communities.

Morrison’s position highlights internal divisions within county leadership regarding how to engage with federal immigration authorities and address related community concerns.
