The state of Illinois has a Trust act which prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with our federal immigration authorities. And that's what I was trying to talk to Senator Durbin about. On September 15th, our partners at ICE arrested an illegal alien from Mexico for beating a 21 year old man to death. He had been imprisoned in Illinois prior to the murder and was released under Illinois's Trust Act. We filed multiple lawsuits in Illinois for sanctuary policies, specifically in state tuition for illegal aliens and obstructing employers from verifying citizenship. (02:24–02:33)
