The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul regarding the Illinois Bivens Act, which is at the center of ongoing legal debates about federal immigration enforcement in the state. A new law limiting federal immigration enforcement in Illinois has sparked controversy, with Kane County’s state’s attorney and sheriff emphasizing that the law will be enforced through lawsuits rather than by local officers. Additionally, the Trump administration has initiated legal action aimed at overturning the Illinois immigrant protection laws. Authorities in Kane County have also stated that police are not authorized to enforce the new legislation prohibiting civil immigration arrests at courthouses.
