According to Megan Crepeau, the Chicago Transit Authority addressed rumors on Facebook and Twitter letting people know there have been no ID checkpoints regarding immigration status. They made it clear that they do not support this activity, and everyone is welcome no matter where they are from. The post was made in English as well as Spanish to reach a larger audience. The rumor began after people took to social media warning others that there have been officers checking people’s immigration statuses at the station. The CTA believes that there may have been a misunderstanding, due to the bag checking services they offer when entering the station. However, this activity does not involve checking immigration status’ but it is for the safety of everyone. It is important to the company that everyone feels safe while using this source of transportation.
