Will County committee seeks to end ‘divisive’ proclamations, then proposes ‘non-sanctuary’ designation – Daily Southtown*

The Will County Executive Committee, which includes about half of the Will County Board, advanced a resolution to declare the county a non-sanctuary county for asylum seekers and illegal immigration. Those voting in favor of the resolution said it makes a statement to Springfield and joins with other communities in Illinois that are concerned with a lack of a federal or state plan for providing services to asylum seekers.
