Gabbard Releases Documents on Fauci’s Alleged Role in Wuhan Lab Research Linked to COVID

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law on Dec. 9 that will limit federal immigration enforcement in the state, including in its courthouses and hospitals.

“With my signature today, we are protecting people and institutions that belong here in Illinois,” Pritzker said in a <a href="https://gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker-signs-bill-to-protect-immigrants-from-unjust-federal-actions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">statement</a>. “Dropping your kid off at day care, going to the doctor, or attending your classes should not be a life-altering task.”

HB 1312, which went into effect immediately, allows people to take legal action against law enforcement officers they believe violated their constitutional rights during civil immigration operations in the state.

The legislation also bars civil arrests in and around courthouses for anyone attending certain state court proceedings and provides a pathway for affected individuals to seek damages for false imprisonment.

Hospitals are required under the new law to restrict the release of protected health information and implement policies governing interactions with law enforcement agents, according to the governor’s office.

The bill also prohibits schools and childcare centers from disclosing the actual or perceived immigration status of students, employees, or anyone associated with them to third parties unless required by law.

The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) welcomed the governor’s move to sign the bill, calling it a “necessary legislative step” to protect people’s constitutional rights.

“The fear of being abducted by federal immigration agents when attending a hearing in state court is disrupting people’s ability to engage with the justice system for critical matters, such as seeking a protection order in a domestic violence situation or addressing a traffic ticket,” Cecilia Mendoza, NIJC associate director of government relations, said in a <a href="https://immigrantjustice.org/press-release/nijc-celebrates-signing-of-illinois-legislation-prohibiting-civil-immigration-arrests-in-and-around-state-courthouses/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">statement</a>.

Homeland Security Department (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said that Pritzker violated the U.S. Constitution and his oath of office when he signed the bill into law.

The bill comes as the Trump administration has expanded immigration enforcement in Illinois, sparking protests near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Chicago, which prompted President Donald Trump to <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-to-deploy-300-national-guard-members-in-illinois-pritzker-says-5924612" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">deploy</a> hundreds of National Guard troops to protect ICE personnel and facilities. A federal judge later issued an <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-admin-urges-supreme-court-to-allow-national-guard-deployment-to-illinois-5942911" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">injunction</a> to temporarily block the deployment.

According to a <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/12/08/governor-pritzkers-sanctuary-illinois-released-more-1700-criminal-illegal-aliens" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DHS statement</a> on Dec. 8, Illinois released about 1,768 criminal illegal immigrants back into the community this year despite federal detainer requests. Those who were released were convicted of various crimes, including homicide, burglary, serious drug offenses, weapons offenses, and sexual predatory offenses.

This follows ICE Director Todd Lyons's September <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09/20/dhs-puts-california-new-york-and-illinois-notice-failure-honor-criminal-illegal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul asking him to honor ICE arrest detainers for criminal illegal immigrants in state custody.

The detainers require the state to notify ICE when a criminal illegal immigrant is due for release to ensure the person can be safely transferred to federal custody.

In its Dec. 8 statement, the DHS said that Raoul's office did not respond.
