Illinois State Senator Chapin Rose argues that the state's sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, are putting lives in danger. He cites recent incidents, including a fatal car crash where the suspect was allegedly in the country illegally, as evidence. Rose criticizes Governor Pritzker and Democratic mayors for supporting sanctuary policies and blames them for contributing to deaths.
A Republican state senator says migrant sanctuary policies enacted by Illinois Democrats are "getting people killed."
Pritzker said the more than a billion in tax dollars spent on the issue is meant to keep people safe. He relayed a story from Urbana last weekend, where two women were killed in a crash and the driver fled. The suspect was later arrested near the Mexico border. Reportedly, he was in the country illegally.
Pritzker stands by laws he enacted that he said protects illegal immigrants who are otherwise law abiding.
