1 HOUSE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act prohibits local law enforcement in
3 Illinois from participating in immigration enforcement; the
4 law prohibits law enforcement officers from inquiring about a
5 person's immigration status during interactions, such as
6 traffic stops or investigations unrelated to immigration
7 enforcement; and
8 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act prohibits law enforcement from
9 stopping, arresting, searching, detaining, or continuing to
10 detain a person solely based on an individual's citizenship or
11 immigration status unless presented with a valid, enforceable
12 federal warrant, preventing a seamless relationship between
13 ICE and Illinois law enforcement; and
14 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act provides that law enforcement shall
15 not give any immigration agent access to any individual,
16 transfer any person to the custody of an immigration agent,
17 permit immigration agents to use facilities or equipment, or
18 respond to inquiries made by immigration agents regarding any
19 individual; and
20 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act limits state and local law
21 enforcement's participation in federal immigration
22 enforcement, limiting the cohesion, and reduces efficiency and

6 intergovernmental service agreement, or any other agreement to
7 house or detain individuals for federal civil immigration
8 violations; and
9 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act prevents law enforcement from
10 performing their duties to the fullest degree, leading to
11 unnecessary crimes and putting communities at risk; and
12 WHEREAS, The TRUST Act jeopardizes Illinois's federal
13 funding, as the federal government is threatening to withhold
14 funds from jurisdictions that adopt "sanctuary" policies or
15 fail to cooperate with immigration enforcement fully; and
16 WHEREAS, The loss of federal funding will cause additional
17 hardships on state and local budgets, affecting resources for
18 services necessary for the citizens of Illinois; therefore, be
