Trump admin sues Illinois Gov. Pritzker over laws shielding migrants from courthouse arrests
Fox News
The U.S. Justice Department sued Illinois Governor JB Pritzker over laws protecting migrants from arrest at courthouses and hospitals.
The governor signed laws earlier this month that ban civil arrests at and around courthouses across the state. The measures also require hospitals, day care centers and public universities to have procedures in place for addressing civil immigration operations and protecting personal information.
The laws, which took effect immediately, also provide legal steps for people whose constitutional rights were violated during the federal immigration raids in the Chicago area, including $10,000 in damages for a person unlawfully arrested while attempting to attend a court proceeding.
