Illinois Gov. Pritzker Defends Sanctuary Policy and Criticizes Deportation Efforts
Jan 26, 2025, 03:40 PM
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has reiterated his commitment to protecting undocumented immigrants in the state, including those facing deportation. He highlighted Illinois's status as a sanctuary state, which restricts cooperation with federal immigration authorities, and defended his stance, stating that many undocumented immigrants are law-abiding, contributing members of the community who hold jobs and raise families. Pritzker criticized federal immigration authorities and expressed concerns about their adherence to the law. He also emphasized that while he supports deporting violent criminals, he finds it troubling that efforts are targeting non-violent, law-abiding individuals. Pritzker has allocated significant funds to support these efforts and stated he will 'stand in the way' of deportation actions that he believes cross the line.
