A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS JUST DISMISSED THE TRUMP-ERA LAWSUIT CHALLENGING SANCTUARY LAWS IN ILLINOIS AND CHICAGO #america #usa #immigration #illinois

A federal judge has just dismissed the Trump-era lawsuit challenging sanctuary laws in Illinois and Chicago. Let’s break down what happened and why it’s a big deal. What Was the Lawsuit? The U.S. Department of Justice sued Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County, claiming their sanctuary laws prevented local police and jails from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. They said it violated the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and endangered public safety. Court Decision On July 25, 2025, a federal judge said nope — and dismissed the entire case. She ruled that the sanctuary policies are protected by the Tenth Amendment, which gives states and cities the right to control how their local agencies operate. In short: the federal government can’t force cities to do its immigration work. What Are These Sanctuary Laws? The laws in question include: The Trust Act, which blocks local police from detaining people for ICE without a warrant, The Way Forward Act, which limits cooperation with immigration enforcement, And Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, which bans police from making immigration-based arrests. Why This Matters This ruling is a major win for sanctuary cities and local autonomy. It sets a strong legal precedent: cities don’t have to assist federal immigration agents if they don’t want to. And that could influence similar cases in New York, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
