## Summary

**Would protect Federal law enforcement and reaffirm the Federal Government’s exclusive authority over immigration.** It would condemn violent assaults on Federal facilities and criticize Illinois policies it says have weakened public safety, especially in Chicago. - Families and communities in Illinois would be the focus of the resolution's safety claims.

The resolution would condemn attacks on agents, call for protections of Federal facilities, and note a reported 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE during enforcement operations. - State and local prosecutors and officials would face criticism. It would condemn Cook County policies it calls "pro‑criminal," citing a rise in average annual homicides from 510 (2011–2016) to 652 (2017–2024) and an increase in reported rapes from 1,486 to 1,804 per year. - Immigration enforcement would be emphasized as an exclusive Federal duty.
