Did Governor Bruce Rauner turn the state into a sanctuary state? Rauner signed the TRUST Act this year that stops law enforcement from detaining someone based only on their on immigration status. Critics say it’s a bill to put Illinois on the list of sanctuary states. Rauner says it didn’t do anything of the sort, rather it just clarified what law enforcement should be doing.
Signing that bill and HB 40 led to strong showing by Rauner’s opponent in the Republican primary election and now Rauner says it’s time to welcome all Republican voters into the tent.
