This resolution strongly condemns attacks on Federal law enforcement in Illinois, specifically highlighting incidents that obstruct the lawful operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It asserts that State and local policies in Illinois, particularly in Chicago, have created an environment where Federal facilities and personnel face significant threats, and public safety has deteriorated due to alleged pro-criminal policies and a lack of cooperation with Federal authorities. The resolution recognizes the Federal Government's exclusive authority over immigration and criticizes Illinois State and Chicago city governments for failing in their fundamental obligation to protect residents from violent crime. It condemns efforts by State or local entities and organized groups to impede Federal immigration enforcement and prosecutorial policies that have contributed to increased violent crime. The resolution reaffirms the Federal Government's responsibility to protect its citizens and supports all necessary measures to safeguard Federal law enforcement personnel and facilities, including the prosecution of those who engage in violence or sabotage against them.
