Raoul touts grand funding injunction
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul is touting a permanent injunction from a Rhode Island federal district judge against the U.S. Department of Transportation from imposing immigration enforcement requirements for billions of dollars in federal funding.
Last year, Illinois was awarded more than $2 billion in DOT funds.
Trooper’s vehicle struck
Illinois State Police are investigating after an ISP squad car was sideswiped by another vehicle in Peoria County.
State Police say a trooper was conducting a traffic stop on U.S. 24 when a black Ford Escape failed to move over, struck the side of the trooper’s car and fled.
No injuries were reported.
ISP says the agency has suffered 13 Move Over Law-related crashes this year.
Finalizing adoptions
Courtrooms across the state will be opening their doors later this month to finalize adoptions.
