Far-left Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly have passed a bill that will provide sanctuary to illegal aliens in courthouses and give them a right to sue the federal agents who arrest them.
Hate-Trump Governor J.B. Pritzker, who believes federal immigration and other agents are “Gestapo” stormtroopers and vows to prosecute them, will almost certainly sign the bill as soon as it hits his desk.
The federal Justice Department will likely sue to overturn the bill under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, an action that might go nowhere. A federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden dismissed the department’s lawsuit to overturn Chicago’s and Illinois’ sanctuary statutes.
The law will shield illegal-alien sex fiends and murderers from arrest and deportation.
The Bill
The law is an amendment attached to a bill, of all things, for a POW-MIA recognition day.
It includes several provisions to help illegals escape deportation, as Capitol News Illinois reported:
Under the bill, civil immigration arrests would be barred inside state courthouses and within a 1,000-foot buffer zone outside of the buildings. Though there had long been a de facto understanding that such were off-limits for immigration enforcement, they have increasingly been the site of apprehensions over the past year. Those who violate the act would face statutory damages of $10,000.
The bill also allows Illinois residents to sue immigration agents for violating their constitutional rights. They would be able to collect punitive damages, which can be increased if the agents are wearing a mask, concealing their identity, failing to wear a body camera or using a vehicle with a non-Illinois or obscured license plate.
In other words, legislators hope to endanger the lives of federal agents by forcing them to reveal their...

WTAH?
I want to see the donut police disarm and arrest an ICE agent while he is working. Justifiable to shoot IMO.
Time to declare Illinois to be in insurrection against the United States. Arrest Pritzger and the rest of the ‘Rats and put them before military tribunals, lustrate all the Dems including registered voters from voting or holding public office and hold new elections for all statewide and Federal offices held by Dems.
It’s unconstitutional on its face.
Yeah, that’ll work.
After all, we know that state law always outmatches the silly old white guy constitution. Especially corrupt blue state law. (Is there any other kind?)
INSANE! So let them also protect people who rob and steal.
Old Prickstirer is just like the rest of the inane Democrats ... take charge of something their have no talent to run ... destroy it and then blame the closest Republican for their failure ... of course remember what Obama said ... “Elections have consequences” ... and for the voters who keep electing losers like him to rule ... You can fix stupid ... don’t go by what the Lame Street Media, TikTok, Meta, Google and what the candidate tells you who to vote for ... look at their record and accomplishments and passed history and then decide on who to vote for.
We are rapidly approaching our Fort Sumter moment.
I am now certain that the democrats want, and are pushing for, a civil war. A real civil war, guns a blazin’ war. Those they do not like to be hanging from lamp posts.
DO IT! .036 seconds after filing the Federal Government calls you and says to go outside and play until dinner. Also, stop playing pranks on the computer.
Yes state laws are just that only.
IMO-—TOTALLY NOT LEGAL LEGISLATION
USSC NEEDS TO CUT THEM DOWN TO SIZE.
I AM WAITING FOR THE EPISODE WHERE VOIGHT TELLS CHICAGO ‘I QUIT”...MOVING TO TEXAS WITH MY SKILLS.
Tsar Nicholas II had Lenin,Stalin Trotsky and Kalinin in his jails and gulags at various times.
Tsar Nicholas II and his family were still murdered.
Lenin and crew are now good communists.
Sometimes in life Timing is Everything.
The Constitution is above state laws because it is the supreme law of the land, and all other laws (including state laws) must adhere to its principles. In case of conflict, the Constitution and federal laws take precedence over state laws.
Such a law in in fact illegal and has no force of effect. Woe be to any idiot that tries to pursue that course of action.
Homan came out last week after the bill passed and said no part of the US is not under federal jurisdiction.

According to this, illegals who are criminals get their cake and eat it too. They’re shielded but still can sue ICE. What’s wrong with this picture?
