Hey, that's great news fedup!

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides that upon admission of a committed person to a facility of the Department of Corrections or to a facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice and upon the discharge of such person from either such Department, each such Department, if it suspects that such person is an alien of the United States who is unlawfully present within the United States in violation of the federal Immigration and Nationality Act shall notify the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the admission or discharge of such alien from the facility.

Forgive me but have become extremely cautious of wording--hope am just being hyper-vigilant:
1. 'upon admission or discharge'--what about 'while detained in' a facility?
2. 'upon the discharge'--after the person is discharged how can ICE place a hold detainer on that person--after discharge it may be too late to locate the person.

Governments will always misuse the machinery of the law as far as the state of public opinion permits.

Excellent point myAmerica. We know full well how many people disappear after released only to show up to commit crimes elsewhere. We had a police officer killed in Wisconsin recently by an illegal alien who had been arrested and released numerous times.

I will mention this specifically when I make my calls today.

i'll star the calls on monday. i'll work on emails today or tomorrow.

BTTT for the day!

Imagine if even Illinois started having legislation. Make some calls today.
