— Illinois Democrats Pass Bill Targeting ICE, but the Supremacy Clause Makes It Unconstitutional

— Illinois Democrats Declare War on ICE — New Law Shields Illegal Aliens, Not Citizens
https://www.illinoisreview.com/illinoisreview/2025/10/illinois-democrats-declare-war-on-ice-new-law-shields-illegal-aliens-not-citizens.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the early hours of Friday morning, Illinois Democrats pushed through one of the most extreme immigration bills in the country – a sweeping measure designed to block federal immigration enforcement and further cement Illinois’ status as a sanctuary state. The bill, House Bill 1312, passed after hours of emotional speeches according to Politico, from Democratic lawmakers, many of whom compared federal immigration agents to kidnappers and slave catchers. The legislation, which Gov. JB Pritzker is expected to sign, designates “safe zones” around schools, hospitals, and courthouses, and allows individuals to sue immigration officers for alleged violations of their “constitutional rights,” including false imprisonment or unlawful detention. “This bill is a statement on behalf of the legislature to say that what ICE is doing is unacceptable,” declared State Sen. Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago), one of the bill’s lead sponsors. Under the new law, federal immigration officers will face punitive damages if they conceal their identities, fail to wear body cameras, or use unmarked or out-of-state vehicles while conducting enforcement operations. It also prohibits civil immigration arrests inside courthouses or within 1,000 feet of them – effectively creating sanctuary zones where federal law cannot be enforced. Senate President Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) delivered a dramatic speech before the final vote, claiming to be “distraught and frightened” by federal enforcement actions. “I never thought I’d live in a world where masked federal employees, brandishing military-style weapons, would jump out of unmarked vans to kidnap and disappear people — U.S. citizens,” Harmon said. He alleged that federal agents are “targeting residents who look like” several Hispanic senators. House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch (D-Hillside) went even further, comparing the legislation to the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. “History will judge our actions in this moment, just as it did our predecessors,” he said. While Democrats framed the bill as a moral stand, critics say it is an outrageous attack on federal law enforcement and a dangerous invitation for lawlessness. By turning schools, hospitals, and courthouses into “safe zones” for illegal immigrants, Illinois Democrats have essentially declared that federal immigration law doesn’t apply here. For the last few years, Illinois families have watched as Democrats diverted billions of taxpayer dollars toward programs for illegal aliens – including free health care for noncitizens – while law-abiding residents struggle to pay their bills and access quality care. Under Gov. Pritzker, Illinois became the first state in the nation to offer free health insurance to undocumented immigrants aged 42 and older – a program that has ballooned in cost to more than a billion dollars. Now, with HB 1312, Democrats are doubling down on policies that reward those who break the law and punish those who enforce it. At a time when violent crime and drug trafficking are surging across the state, Illinois lawmakers are focused not on protecting citizens, but on shielding illegal immigrants from federal agents. With this legislation, Illinois Democrats have made their priorities clear: illegal aliens first, law-abiding citizens last. The message to working families could not be clearer – if you play by the rules, you’re on your own. But if you break the law, the state will protect you, fund you, and even help you sue the federal agents trying to uphold justice. As Gov. Pritzker prepares to sign HB 1312, Illinois continues to lead the nation not in economic growth, education, or public safety – but in radical policies that undermine the rule of law and reward illegal behavior. For a party that claims to defend democracy, Democrats in Illinois seem determined to dismantle it, one sanctuary bill at a time.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: JOINING THE FRAY: Rick Heidner, a real estate developer and founder of Gold Rush Gaming, is running for governor as a Republican. We hear he just plugged $1 million into his campaign and is gathering petition signatures. Homer Glen Mayor Christina Neitzke-Troike is his lieutenant governor running mate. Heidner, of Barrington Hills, joins a competitive GOP primary contest that includes former state Sen. Darren Bailey, conservative activist Ted Dabrowski and DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and a few other, lesser-known folks. It’s a contest rife with tension. There’s a feud brewing between the Dabrowski and Bailey camps, and GOP political consultant Jeanne Ives is at the center of the controversy. Ives is endorsing Dabrowski — even though she backed Bailey in 2022. She’s also been accused of trying to discredit Bailey by being part of an effort to leak a confidential human resources document from Bailey’s 2022 campaign about a disagreement with then-campaign staffer Brett Corrigan, who was 17 at the time. The document never amounted to anything, but Tom DeVore, a Republican operative who is staying neutral in 2026, called it “nasty politics,” via social media. Bailey is seen as a front-runner because of his name recognition across the state. Ives denies trying to discredit anyone, and Dabrowski’s camp didn’t comment. Bailey spokesman Jose Durbin, said, “While Darren Bailey and Aaron Del Mar are focused on beating the Democrats, it’s unfortunate Jeannie Ives is once again reprising her role as the Democrats’ favorite ‘Republican,’” according to a statement. And Corrigan, who has since gone on to host three Illinois political events with President Donald Trump’s family members, is now chairing Heidner’s campaign for governor. “Rick is a true outsider — not a career politician — who’s ready to save Illinois, fight for our values and be a trusted ally to President Trump,” Corrigan said.)

DAILY HERALD
— State lawmaker Terra Costa Howard to become DuPage County judge
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250923/news/state-lawmaker-howard-to-become-dupage-county-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Terra Costa Howard is giving up her seat in the state House to become a DuPage County Circuit Court judge. The Illinois Supreme Court announced Tuesday it is appointing Howard as resident circuit judge, effective Oct. 17. Her term will end Dec. 7, 2026. She fills a vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Paul Fullerton. Howard, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, has served as a state representative since 2019, first for the 48th District and then the 42nd District. A spokesman confirmed Costa Howard is resigning, but said a date has not been set. Costa Howard has had a solo law practice since 2003. Before that, she worked in the DuPage County public defender’s office and as a staff attorney for the DuPage court. “From my first days of working in the Chief Judge’s office and the DuPage County Public Defender’s office, to my current role as State Representative, I have worked to serve the people of DuPage County,” Costa Howard said in a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court. “I believe that every step of my career has led me toward this new challenge, and I look forward to the prospect of bringing my experience — in law and in life — to the bench.” The state constitution prohibits . judges from holding elected office.)

OAK PARK
— Marijuana and traffic. Oak Park today, your municipality tomorrow.
https://www.oakpark.com/2025/09/23/marijuana-and-traffic/
(FROM THE LETTER: Oak Park residents are facing growing public safety concerns, and the situation seems to be worsening. At the intersection of Taylor and Adams, few vehicles comes to a full stop at crosswalks — just one example of how traffic laws are being routinely ignored. This puts pedestrians at serious risk, and it’s not an isolated issue. Another concern is the frequent smell of marijuana on Oak Park streets, especially from passing vehicles. While recreational cannabis is legal in Illinois, the pervasive odor — often near schools, parks, and residential areas — has become a public nuisance and, at times, a health issue. Yet Democratic leadership has shown little interest in addressing the unintended consequences of legalization. Compounding these problems is the rise in uninsured motorists. A friend of mine was recently rear-ended by an uninsured driver whose car smelled strongly of marijuana. Beyond the financial burden, the incident highlighted the danger of impaired, unaccountable drivers. The Illinois Supreme Court’s 2024 People v. Redmond decision, which ruled that the smell of cannabis alone does not justify legal action, has made it even harder for law enforcement to respond effectively.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/20250809/illinois-state-politics/what-more-could-the-governor-do-illinois-lawmakers-doubt-states-districts-could-be-more-gerryma/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Illinois is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country,” said Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills. “What more could the governor do?” . . . Senate Republican Leader John Curran of Downers Grove accused Pritzker of “meddling in other states’ redistricting issues for national press coverage.” “He should be working to increase voter choice here in Illinois by calling for fair maps like he pledged when running for office,” Curran said. . . Illinois’ current congressional map was drawn to give Democrats an edge in nearly all of the state’s 17 districts, even though roughly 41% of the state’s voters supported Trump in the 2020 election and 44% of voters did so in 2024. Likewise, Trump carried 88 of Illinois’ 102 counties in 2020 and again in 2024. The gerrymandering is particularly obvious in the West and Northwest suburbs, where some districts curl through a dozen or more communities in multiple counties like ribbons in the wind. Curran said it’d be “impossible” to gerrymander the map more than it already has been. “Gerrymandering weakens our democracy and removes choice from voters,” Curran said. “It should be ended throughout the country — starting here in Illinois.”)

ABC NEWS
— The easiest way to understand gerrymandering is through the lens of two basic techniques: cracking and packing. Cracking splits groups of disfavored voters among multiple districts. With their electoral strength divided, cracked groups struggle to elect their preferred candidates in any of the districts because they are too small a share of the electorate to be effective. Packing is the opposite of cracking. With packing, map drawers cram members of disfavored groups or parties into as few districts as possible. The packed groups are able to elect their preferred candidates by overwhelming margins, but their voting strength is weakened everywhere else. These techniques are not mutually exclusive — both may be deployed by map drawers to engineer a decided partisan advantage. Illinois 3rd Congressional District is an example Hispanic packing.

With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.

— Democrats run the federal government. Federal employees are their patronage army. They hired me in 1980, 1971, and 1966 because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. They wasted my career and got rid of me because I refused to become a Democrat. – Dave Diersen

The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. While I was a S.S. Kresge employee 1964-1966, it was my wanting money to buy a new car (1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint) to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and classes at UIC. While I was a postal employee 1966-1969, it was my need for money to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and to buy new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) to get to/from classes and work. While I was a Firestone Store employee 1970-1972, it included my need for money to help support my mother and brother. While I was an IRS employee 1971-1980, it included my wanting money to pay for my Loyola and DePaul education expenses, to buy new cars (1972 Corvette, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Chevy Chevette, and 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale), and to buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, and a home in Wheaton in 1978. While I was a GAO employee 1980-1997 it included my wanting money to pay for my DePaul education expenses in 1980 and my IIT education expenses 1992-1997, to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, to buy new cars in 1989, 1993, 1995, and 1996, to buy collector cars (1962 Chevrolet Impala SS in 1989 and 1968 Charger R/T in 1994), etc. The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working. – Dave Diersen

While I was a postal employee 1966-1969, it was my need for money to pay for my UIC and NIU expenses and to buy new cars (1968 Oldsmobile 442 and 1969 Dodge Charger SE) to get to/from classes and work. While I was a Firestone Store employee 1970-1972, it included my need for money to help support my mother and brother. While I was an IRS employee 1971-1980, it included my wanting money to pay for my Loyola and DePaul education expenses, to buy new cars (1972 Corvette, 1974 Dodge Dart, 1978 Chevy Chevette, and 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale), and to buy a new town home in 1972, a studio condo in 1974, a one bedroom condo in 1976, and a home in Wheaton in 1978. While I was a GAO employee 1980-1997 it included my wanting money to pay for my DePaul education expenses in 1980 and my IIT education expenses 1992-1997, to have a home built in Wheaton in 1984, to buy new cars in 1989, 1993, 1995, and 1996, to buy collector cars (1962 Chevrolet Impala SS in 1989 and 1968 Charger R/T in 1994), etc. The importance of the Post Office’s mission (delivering mail), IRS’s mission (funding the federal government), and GAO’s mission (fighting government fraud, waste, and abuse) helped me overcome workplace obstacles and to keep on working.

Further, I remember, as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, doing that for Duckworth’s opponent Salvi in 2022, for Kirk in 2016 and 2010, and Keyes in 2004. Because they all were statewide races, my critics/opponents had a harder time blaming me and blaming my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for Republican defeats.

CHICAGO MAGAZINE
— The 10 Pols Who Could Replace Dick Durbin
https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/february-2024/the-10-pols-who-could-replace-dick-durbin/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When U.S. senator Peter Fitzgerald announced his retirement in 2004, 16 candidates ran to succeed him. “Don’t you think it would be cool to be a senator?” one remarked. (Barack Obama, a state senator at the time, won — you might have heard of him.) . . . 5. Darin LaHood
The GOP will run a candidate, too, and LaHood is likely to be it. The last two times an Illinois Republican won a Senate race were 1998 and 2010 — nonpresidential years when a Democrat was in the White House, which seems to indicate that a Joe Biden reelection would help LaHood. (The Democrats also ran weak candidates those years.) Of the three Illinois Republicans in Congress, LaHood, elected to the House in 2015, is the most moderate. He’s from Peoria, which is Middle America personified. “He’s a guy who is politically disciplined and has not alienated the base,” says a conservative activist. “He can appeal to independents, too. He’s not a crazy MAGA.” Democrats would attack LaHood on abortion (he opposes) and voting with Trump on issues such as repealing Obamacare. He needs “to keep the race on economics and the lack of federal leadership, particularly with the border crisis,” the activist says.)
