DHS apprehends ICE protester with firearm
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says more than 200 rioters blocked access to a gate in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview Friday.
According to a DHS statement, one of the rioters was apprehended with a gun and others arrived with boxes of fireworks and gas masks.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called for the violence to stop after rioters chanted, “Shoot ICE, kill ICE.”
Bill allows campaign funds for security
State Rep. Lisa Davis, D-Chicago, has introduced legislation which would allow candidates for public office to use campaign funds for security costs.
Davis said House Bill 4131 would let state and local candidates use campaign dollars to be spent on home and office security measures.
Bill restricts abortion medication by mail
Illinois U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Oakland, has introduced legislation to prohibit the mail-order distribution of abortion pills.
The “Restoring Safeguards for Dangerous Abortion Drugs Act” aims to reinstate in-person medical requirements for abortion pills.
Miller said women are suffering life-threatening complications from chemical abortion drugs because critical safeguards were removed.
