Illinois Sanctuary Policy and Immigration Enforcement
Where Things Stand
Illinois law, specifically the TRUST Act, prohibits local police from cooperating with federal immigration detainers unless a judge signs a warrant. This "sanctuary" policy is under intense scrutiny following the murder of Sheridan Gorman by an undocumented immigrant who had been previously released by local authorities. The conflict represents a major legal battle between state-level protections for immigrants and federal demands for deportation cooperation.
