A Republican State Senator says migrant sanctuary policies enacted by Illinois Democrats are putting people’s lives in jeopardy.
Illinois law prohibits local and state law enforcement from communicating or assisting federal immigration authorities. And, while Governor J.B. Pritzker said violent criminal aliens should be deported, he warned the Trump administration plans to go after others in the country illegally.
Governor Pritzker said the more than a billion in tax dollars spent on the issue is meant to keep people safe. Republican State Senator Chapin Rose said the policies enacted by Democrats are “getting people killed.”
In Urbana last weekend, two women were killed in a crash and the driver fled. The suspect was later arrested near the Mexico border. Reportedly, he was in the country Illegally.
