Collaborators

Under Illinois law there are significant limits on how much cooperation Illinois Law Enforcement is allowed to cooperate with federal agents. This has become a particularly acute issue with ICE's enforcement actions in the state. It turns out.... various and many law enforcement agencies have been actively collaborating with ICE in what appears to be violation of Illinois statutes, much to the detriment of Illinois residents. Injustice Watch is taking down names.

Illinois times is a local independent newspaper down here in Springfield.
