The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul over a state law restricting immigration arrests.

The recently signed Illinois Bivens Act (HB 1312) bans civil immigration arrests at courthouses, and allows people to file civil lawsuits if they believe federal agents have violated their constitutional rights.

The Justice Department said states may not limit the work done by the federal government. The DOJ also said the Bivens Act threatens the safety of federal officers. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/u-s-department-of-justice-sues-pritzker-law-immigration-arrests/
