Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Springfield, Illinois, to criticize the state's sanctuary policies under Governor J.B. Pritzker. Noem highlighted several cases, including that of a Mexican illegal alien convicted of murdering his father who was released from an Illinois prison after just six years, despite an ICE detainer being ignored. She accused Illinois of being a sanctuary state since 2017, which she claims has cost the state $1.6 billion. Noem also accused Governor Pritzker of violating the Constitution by prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens and reminded that immigration enforcement is under the authority of the President. The visit and remarks aimed to draw attention to what Noem described as the consequences of sanctuary policies in Illinois.
