US judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit on Illinois and Chicago over immigration

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit challenging sanctuary policies in Chicago and Illinois.
The Department of Justice sued Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago in February, naming Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson and arguing their sanctuary laws hinder ICE enforcement.
The U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins wrote the sanctuary policies are protected by the Tenth Amendment, and she dismissed the suit without prejudice to allow amendment by August 22nd.
Local leaders responded with praise, with Johnson saying `This ruling affirms what we have long known` and Pritzker adding `Illinois just beat the Trump Administration in federal court`.
With courts repeatedly upholding sanctuary laws and threats to withhold funding, the conflict is likely to persist, signaling ongoing legal and political battles.
