Trump admin sues Illinois Gov. Pritzker over migrant protection laws at courthouses nationwide
The U.S. Justice Department sued Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker over new laws protecting migrants from arrest at courthouses, hospitals and day cares, arguing they infringe on federal authority.
The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker over new laws shielding migrants from arrest at key locations, including courthouses, hospitals and day cares. The lawsuit claims that the state's laws are unconstitutional and conflict with federal law. Pritzker signed the bills into law earlier this month to protect migrants from being arrested while accessing essential services. The Justice Department argues that these laws undermine public safety and create a sanctuary for asylum seekers.
