Bruce Rauner signed legislation on Monday that would limit cooperation with federal immigration officials, angering members of his own party who say the law creates a "sanctuary state." “The TRUST Act makes clear that Illinois will be a good partner with the federal government, and law enforcement officials will continue communicating with federal immigration and law enforcement officials,” Rauner’s spokesperson told Fox News. Asked for comment about the new Illinois law on Monday, a Justice Department official was critical. Advocates of tough immigration enforcement slammed the new Illinois law as “dangerous” on Monday, saying it creates the first “sanctuary state” since President Trump took office. California and New York currently have pending legislation that would prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal authorities.
