(The Center Square) – Lawmakers sent Senate Bill 667, known as the Way Forward Act, to Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
The bill would restrict local law enforcement from working with ICE and close immigrant detainment centers across the state.
The bill was filed by state Sen. Omar Aquino, D-Chicago, in an effort to provide protection for immigrants from local law enforcement. State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez, the House sponsor, said the legislation could help the relationship between the police and immigrants and take some of the fear out of talking to the police.
“Immigrant families continue to fear interaction with police due to the ongoing police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.” Hernandez said. “When immigrants do not come forward and work with the police, the whole community suffers.”
