House Minority Leader Tony McCombie and her leadership team released the following statement in response to the fearmongering of Governor JB Pritzker concerning President Donald Trump's strategy on migrants:
"Governor Pritzker is once again misleading Illinoisans. Current deportation efforts already prioritize removing illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. It's disappointing to see Governor Pritzker distort the truth to try to score political points. We all want to live in safe communities, free of crime, and enforcing the law against those who break it is common sense. Instead of fearmongering, let's focus on solutions that protect law-abiding citizens and ensure justice is served."
