An Illinois city police department has vowed to block local law enforcement from coordinating with ICE. The department said that, in accordance with Illinois’ Trust Act, it will not give ICE information on individuals suspected to be illegal immigrants.
“The city’s main objective during this time is to secure and maintain the well-being of our community by following the guidance of the Illinois Attorney General Office, avoiding participation in federal enforcement efforts by preventing the sharing of information based solely on immigration status,” Waukegan Police Department’s official statement reads.
Illinois passed the Trust Act during President Donald Trump’s first term in office in 2017.

Nearly 1,000 people were arrested Saturday morning, according to the ICE. (ICE)
Popular X account Libs of TikTok shared the statement and slammed the department.
“Obstructing law enforcement is a crime,” the account posted. “Harboring a fugitive is a crime.”
Tom Homan, Trump’s no-nonsense border czar, isn’t backing down to sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate.
“Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want — more agents in the communities, more people arrested, more collaterals arrested. So that’s a game they want to play? Game on,” Homan recently told “Fox & Friends.”
ICE has been documenting its arrest numbers on X as it works to fulfill the mass deportation promise Trump made to voters during his campaign.
