Illinois House committee advances bill banning immigration detention centers near homes, schools – Capitol News IL

House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch acknowledged that the legislation is not retroactive, meaning it would apply to future facilities, but not the existing facility in Broadview or others currently owned or leased by the federal government. And it is unclear whether the proposal, if passed and signed into law, would pass constitutional muster. Generally, the federal government is exempt from local zoning restrictions.

Why not just cooperate with ICE and they can save building them at all, just load the illegals on planes and fly them out.

The Dem pols don’t want that because they would lose very many future Dem voters.
