Illinois Senate passes anti-Trump law enforcement immigration bill
May 4, 2017
Senate Democrats pushed through a measure Thursday that would prevent state and local police from making arrests due to a person's citizenship status, an effort supporters say is designed to build trust between law enforcement and communities living in fear following the immigration crackdown under President Donald Trump.
The bill would prohibit police from searching, arresting or detaining a person because of their immigration status absent a federal criminal warrant. It also would create so-called safe zones in state-funded schools, health care centers and secretary of state facilities, and block state and local law enforcement agencies from creating registries based on race, religion and national origin.
Sponsoring Senate President John Cullerton said the bill is about providing stability for the estimated half a million people in Illinois who are undocumented and "fear that they're going to all be deported."
"They're part of our economy, they go to our schools, they're working, they're paying taxes. While the federal government is going to determine their status, they're in our community," said Cullerton, a Northwest Side Democrat.
Republicans questioned the wisdom of interfering with the federal government, saying it could represent a risk to national security.
"I just didn't want to lose the irony of the moment that we're going to pass a law to tell law enforcement not to enforce the law," said Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon.
The bill now heads to the House after passing the Senate 31-21, with one member voting present.

I'm so sick of the double standards! Americans HAVE to obey the laws but illegals get a free pass on any and all laws they don't like.
