According to a public records request made by Block Club Chicago, approximately 70% of the 13,000 submissions in the contest were for the “Abolish ICE” name, an idea that attracted the attention of residents and lawmakers, including Mayor Brandon Johnson, who endorsed the name as the contest moved along.
“This truck being named ‘Abolish ICE’ has my full and complete endorsement,” he said.'
According to city officials, once the names are chosen, signage for the winning names will be installed, and residents who submitted the names will be offered a photo opportunity, along with merchandise celebrating the city of Chicago.
