This Senate resolution, introduced October 15, 2025, condemns attacks on Federal law enforcement in the State of Illinois. The text says Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is authorized to carry out deportations and that State and local actions that obstruct Federal immigration enforcement violate the Constitution. The resolution lists findings about violent crime in Chicago, local prosecutorial policies, assaults on Federal facilities and personnel, and an increase in assaults on ICE. It then states 11 formal positions, including condemning attacks, commending Federal personnel, reaffirming Federal authority over immigration, supporting protection of Federal facilities and prosecution of attackers, and urging State and local governments to support Federal officers.
If adopted, the Senate would formally state these views and call for protection of Federal law enforcement and prosecution of those who attack or obstruct operations. The resolution lists specific condemnations and calls for support and protections, but the text does not specify new programs, funding, or changes to criminal penalties.
