BUFFALO GROVE — State Senator Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) released the following statement after Illinois sued the Trump administration over its dangerous immigration enforcement tactics and unlawful use of force:

“I commend Attorney General Kwame Raoul for taking decisive action to protect Illinois residents from dangerous and unlawful federal enforcement practices. No one should fear being stopped, detained or harmed without cause simply for living in their community, and this lawsuit sends a clear message that Illinois will not tolerate violations of our residents’ constitutional rights.

“What we have seen here in Illinois echoes what happened in Minneapolis to Renee Good — where unchecked federal force resulted in devastating harm. These incidents are not isolated. They reveal a troubling pattern of abuse and a disregard for due process, human dignity and public safety.

“I stand with Attorney General Raoul in demanding accountability and reaffirming that in Illinois, the rule of law applies to everyone, including federal agencies.”
