Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois has taken a decisive step in response to the nation’s ongoing immigration enforcement issues by signing an executive order on Thursday. This order initiates the formation of a commission dedicated to monitoring the conduct of federal law enforcement agencies and advising on measures for accountability.

Under the title Executive Order 2025-06, the Illinois Accountability Commission (IAC) is established as an independent entity. According to a statement from the governor’s office, the commission’s role is to document and create a public record of the activities of federal law enforcement agents. Furthermore, it will provide recommendations aimed at ensuring the federal government remains accountable, particularly as they engage in what has been described as military-style operations across Illinois.
