(The Center Square) – An Illinois legislator, who is also in law enforcement, suspects police departments and municipalities will lose federal funding if they don’t cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Just hours after President Donald Trump took the oath of office, DeKalb's city manager Bill Nicklas issued a statement about the police department’s role in supporting federal authorities in carrying out mass deportations.
The statement said the department operates in conformance with the Illinois TRUST Act, which bans law enforcement from assisting immigration agents.
State Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, who is also a law enforcement officer, said once someone is a criminal, the TRUST Act is thrown out the window.
