flag Illinois bans federal immigration arrests near sensitive sites, allowing damages up to $10,000.

flag Illinois has enacted a law banning federal immigration arrests near courthouses, hospitals, university campuses, and daycares, effective immediately. flag Signed by Governor JB Pritzker, the law allows individuals unlawfully arrested during court proceedings to seek up to $10,000 in damages and prohibits hospitals, universities, and daycares from disclosing immigration status. flag The measure follows a surge in federal raids, including Operation Midway Blitz, which led to over 4,000 arrests in Illinois, most involving nonviolent offenses. flag While federal officials argue the law may violate the Supremacy Clause and face legal challenges, state leaders say it protects civil rights and ensures access to essential services without fear of deportation.
