* 2017…

Aurora officials are pleased that Gov. Bruce Rauner has signed a bill which will limit how local and state police can cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

In a statement Monday, Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin said he was pleased to see the bill become law. He noted that Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman was at the bill signing ceremony.

“Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman and I joined with other leaders throughout the state to support this bill and encouraged the governor to sign it into law,” Irvin said in the statement. “It is the right, just and fair thing to do.

“The Illinois TRUST Act will forbid local police from holding people for immigration purposes without court-ordered warrants,” Irvin said in the statement. “It forbids local police from stopping, searching or arresting anyone based on their immigration or citizenship status. If someone is going to be detained in Illinois, it should be because an actual crime has occurred, not because of how they look, what they believe or what paperwork they may or may not have.”
