>> Illinois law generally prohibits local law enforcement from transferring people into federal immigration custody.

Despite that, a new report from the attorney general's office shows for Illinois Sheriff's offices defied the state's sanctuary laws.

Our reporter Blair Paddock joins us now with more Blair.

What are the reports say?

These sheriffs offices they defined the states in trail lives in 2 ways.

First of all, local law enforcement is not supposed to comply with civil immigration warrants or immigration detainers and then they're not supposed to transfer people into DHS custody unless they're presented with a federal criminal warrant or otherwise specified federal law and these 4 counties.

Madison, Grundy, Jefferson and King counties did just those 2 things in the transfer.

24 people into DHS custody after receiving either a civil immigration warrant or an immigration detainer in 2024.

Head of the sheriff's of those 4 counties respond.

King County responded to me said that if they received a federal criminal warrant signed by judge.

They have to do that and they But the thing is that like in their self reported data to the a G they said that they complied with a civil immigration detainer or a civil immigration warrant.

Those 2 documents are not signed by a judge there signed by immigration officers.

And when I brought this up to the King County sheriff, he said that he wasn't immediately aware of the 2 instances mentioned in report were any other ways that local law enforcement was found non compliant with sanctuary laws?

Yeah.

And so the local law enforcement agencies in the state have to submit their compliance data to the AG yearly.

If they don't, AG can seek legal remedies because they'll be in violation of the state About 824 of 960 law enforcement agencies responded to the a G's yearly report.

So I asked the AG about those chunk of folks that didn't respond to see if they sought legal remedy.

What was up with?

I didn't I didn't hear anything from K. Hopefully we will hear from Blair Paddock,
