Pritzker encourages protests as feds challenge use of force lawsuit
Federal officials seek to overturn a preliminary injunction limiting use of force amid immigration enforcement protests as violence and threats against DHS personnel increase, court hearing set Dec. 17.
- On Monday, the Trump administration filed appeals and an emergency motion to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking authority to protect federal assets from violent protesters.
- Last month, lawmakers sent House Bill 1312 to Gov. J.B. Pritzker, while Illinois faces parallel legal fights over National Guard deployments and migrant sanctuary policies.
- Plaintiffs allege excessive force and obtained a preliminary injunction last month, while federal filings say protesters impeded and threatened DHS personnel and cartels including the Latin Kings placed `bounties` on officers.
- U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi framed the litigation as enforcement success, telling President Donald Trump they charged more than 500 defendants, while State Rep. Patrick Windhorst warned veto-session changes on Halloween will complicate enforcement.
- Plaintiffs have until Friday to respond in the appeals court regarding the use-of-force case, one of several Illinois federal lawsuits.
