Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement has understandably received pushback from many liberal law enforcers and states, but now one Republican governor is joining the left’s resistance.
Illinois’ Republican Governor Bruce Rauner signed legislation shielding the nearly 500,000 illegal aliens from federal immigration law.
Rauner signed the sanctuary state bill into law on Monday, making it illegal for law enforcement to arrest or detain illegal aliens solely based on their immigration status, the Chicago Tribune noted.
The new law will essentially make it impossible for Illinois police to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they have a suspected criminal illegal alien on their hands, thus increasing the possibility that they will be freed back into the general public.
The sanctuary state law also makes it illegal for local law enforcement to arrest an illegal alien, even if the individual is wanted by ICE for immigration violations.
The resistance to ICE is a resistance to rule of law, period. Moderate Republicans and Democrats have had years to change immigration law under Obama, but they refused.
Now, instead of resisting the law they failed to change, they should be forced to endure the consequences. And, pending lawsuits on the topic, they may soon have to.
