Illinois sheriffs are protesting a recent change in policy by the Governor J.B. Pritzker administration that keeps the Department of Corrections from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel on deportation orders for violent illegal alien criminals.

One sheriff said that the policy change is akin to giving the ex-inmates a “head start to evade federal law.”

Fox32:

    “It’s alarming to think that because of a change in policy that suddenly these types of individuals might be walking the streets and we might not even be aware of it,” said Sen. Jason Barickman of Bloomington, one of several GOP lawmakers to sign a letter seeking legislative hearings. “We’re here to first of all call on the administration to reverse this reckless policy and ensure the public that they’re safe.”
