Department of Justice sues Pritzker, Raoul over law barring federal immigration actions at courthouses

The U.S. Department of Justice sued Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul over the state’s new law aimed at limiting immigration enforcement in courthouses.

The law, signed by Pritzker this month, bars immigration enforcement from courthouses and opens the door for easier legal action against federal agents over alleged civil rights infractions. It follows the Trump administration’s sweeping deportation campaign that has targeted the state, specifically the Chicago area, for months.

The lawsuit claims that the law is unconstitutional and states have no regulatory authority over federal actions, such as immigration enforcement.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The new Illinois law signed by Pritzker is clearly unconstitutional on its face, but that matters not to the so called attorney. Pritzker is a pandering Leftist.

In 2015, Pritzker donated $100,000,000.00 to Northwestern University which renamed its law school after him. He must have been asleep during Constitutional Law.

Pritzker is at the top of my hate list, tying now with Newsom. Not that either need to be worried.

I am dismayed that Pritzker’s injections for fat loss have not had at least visible signs of serious adverse side effects. Darn it.

Imagine if a state law in Mississippi during the 1960s banned federal law enforcement from schoolhouses, rather than courthouses. The Illinois law is nuts.

Why not just arrest them?

They are interfering with law enforcement.

It's long overdue to put Illinois under military occupation.

Full disclosure -- I live in Illinois.
