Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is adamant the state must appeal a federal judge’s ruling that its gun and magazine ban is unconstitutional. On the House floor Tuesday, state Rep. Dan Caulkins, R-Decatur, said the state’s gun ban was deemed unconstitutional by Southern District of Illinois federal Judge Stephen McGlynn. He said the Pritzker administration needs to drop the appeal. “We’re going to spend a lot of time and a lot of money fighting against a law that is blatantly unconstitutional,” Caulkins said. “We’ve spent millions of dollars fighting against this law that you know, we know and now a judge has said is unconstitutional.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says he’s disappointed in Tuesday’s election outcome with Donald Trump retaking the White House, but he is prepared for what may come.

While Illinois went to Vice President Kamala Harris 53% to 45%, Trump did win most of the state’s counties. Regardless, Trump swept swing states and captured the necessary Electoral College votes and the popular vote. Republicans also captured the U.S. Senate and are predicted to hold onto the House, with several dozen races still to be decided nationwide. “Donald Trump will be our next president. He won the election and we must all be willing to work together for the common good,” Pritzker said Thursday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Illinois could be at the center of conflicting agendas under a Trump presidency and Democrat-controlled state. With a Trump administration looking to end sanctuary city policies nationwide, Illinois could be ground zero in the fight. Illinois law prohibits local and state police from assisting federal agencies in enforcing federal immigration law. The state also uses taxpayer funds to subsidize health care coverage for non-citizens, something that has cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. Costs are expected to continue.
