Justice Department Sues Illinois Over Immigration Enforcement Laws
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul over a law designed to protect immigrants at courthouses, hospitals, and daycares, claiming it is unconstitutional. The law prohibits immigration enforcement within 1,000 feet of courthouses and requires institutions to prepare for federal immigration agent visits. Pritzker defends the law as a protection of constitutional rights, while the DOJ argues it undermines federal authority and safety.
