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.

Trooper’s vehicle struck
Illinois State Police are investigating after an ISP squad car was sideswiped by another vehicle in Peoria County.

No injuries were reported.
ISP says the agency has suffered 13 Move Over Law-related crashes this year.

Courtrooms across the state will be opening their doors later this month to finalize adoptions.
