US sues Illinois, Chicago for impeding immigration efforts

The Justice Department is suing Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle for allegedly interfering with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
The lawsuit claims that sanctuary policies in Illinois are exacerbating a crisis at the U.S. Southern border by preventing local authorities from cooperating with deportation efforts.
Pritzker and Johnson have vowed to uphold sanctuary status, stating that local authorities will not assist federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement in tracking down immigrants without legal status.
Chicago officials argue that the lawsuit is an attempt to intimidate jurisdictions that protect immigrant communities and that they will continue to uphold their values.
