Bill > HR0083

This resolution urges the repeal of the TRUST Act, an Illinois law that limits local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The TRUST Act currently prohibits law enforcement officers from inquiring about an individual's immigration status during routine interactions, prevents them from detaining individuals solely based on immigration status without a valid federal warrant, and restricts law enforcement from providing access to facilities or individuals to immigration agents like ICE. The resolution argues that these restrictions reduce law enforcement efficiency, potentially compromise public safety, and may jeopardize federal funding for Illinois. By calling for the Act's repeal, the resolution seeks to encourage closer collaboration between state and federal immigration enforcement agencies, with the stated goal of better protecting Illinois citizens. The resolution specifically requests that a copy of this document be delivered to Governor JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul to underscore its recommendations.
