IL High Speed Rail Commission will finalize its final report to the legislature by July without the input from Chicago. The city is not officially involved in the commission because the appointed seat for the city on the board is vacant and can only be appointed by the Mayor's Office.

Becoming a broken record on this, but "Epstein class" just strikes me as bad class analysis. I think "set" is probably a better term (maybe even criminal syndicate lol) but it doesn't encompass the political-economic class writ large...

not sure what it says about Democrats' future political messaging that a lot of people in the QTs are mad Walz and Pritzker "haven't done this" when the reason they haven't is because Illinois and Minnesota state police agencies never entered into 287(g) agreements in the first place
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?
