Governor JB Pritzker signed a bill today that protects immigrants from unjust federal actions.
The bill ensures immigrants and others impacted by hostile federal actions in Illinois can safely attend court hearings, protect their health information, join university communities, and access childcare for their families without fear of aggressive civil immigration enforcement actions.
Additionally, it outlines steps to provide legal recourse for individuals harmed by law enforcement agents who knowingly violated Constitutional rights during civil immigration enforcement operations. The bill will now take effect immediately
