Today, Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois' 15th District urged sheriffs in the state to oppose Governor J.B. Pritzker's sanctuary laws. She advocated for adherence to former President Trump's federal immigration policies and collaboration with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport undocumented immigrants.
Miller stated, "Governor JB Pritzker’s sanctuary state policies have transformed Illinois into a cesspool of crime and drugs brought by the illegals he is actively resettling." She further expressed concerns about the impact on communities, saying, "Our communities are being overwhelmed, innocent girls are being raped, and Americans are being ruthlessly murdered. These are the tragic consequences of his failed leadership."
She called on local law enforcement to resist state directives: "I call on every local sheriff in Illinois to defy these dangerous directives, cooperate with ICE, and support President Trump’s deportation efforts. We must act now before one more innocent American life is lost or harmed."
Congresswoman Miller holds positions as Chair of the Congressional Family Caucus and serves on several House Committees including Agriculture, Education and Workforce, and House Administration.
