Commissioner Sean Morrison commented on recent law enforcement actions and media coverage in a series of tweets posted on October 5, 2025. Morrison's statements addressed police response protocols and criticized both leadership decisions and certain media narratives regarding an incident involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In his first tweet at 13:27 UTC, Morrison wrote, "Clearly not on the Officers, not their call, they are under order of being terminated if they respond… this is on CPD leadership command m, but mainly the politicians. … I will have more to say on this later , stay tuned https://t.co/yQiyiStbA4". He attributed responsibility for officers' actions to Chicago Police Department (CPD) leadership and political figures rather than the officers themselves.

Later that day at 17:58 UTC, Morrison expressed concern over press coverage of an ICE-related incident, stating, " what is alarming to me, is Why are some members of the press inciting and pushing false narratives of what occurred against ICE, regarding this incident https://t.co/fBwJtrBoyu".

In a subsequent tweet at 19:43 UTC, he simply responded with " https://t.co/aZcpNqAkJY", signaling agreement or endorsement related to ongoing discussions.

Morrison serves as Cook County Commissioner. The context for his remarks includes ongoing debates about local law enforcement policies concerning cooperation with federal agencies such as ICE. There has been public scrutiny over how local police departments balance city directives with federal requests in immigration-related matters. Media coverage surrounding these issues has occasionally led to disputes over factual reporting and political influence.
