WATCH: Gun ban with SCOTUS; ICE enforcement pushback; End of life options bill with gov
(The Center Square) – In today’s edition of Illinois in Focus Daily, The Center Square Editor Greg Bishop reviews the status of several challenges to Illinois’ gun and magazine ban, including the U.S. Supreme Court taking a case challenging Cook County’s ban into conference Friday. A decision whether they’ll take the case could be released Monday. This as the case where a district court found the state’s law unconstitutional remains pending in an appeals court, and a case challenging Naperville’s ban remains in a district court.
Bishop also overviews the ongoing disputes over immigration enforcement with a motion to dismiss a use of force lawsuit being made by the parties that brought the case, the Illinois Secretary of State putting car rental companies on notice for ICE officials allegedly altering or removing license plates while in Illinois and the enforcement of commercial driver’s licenses and English language proficiency.
Finally, Bishop reviews recent comments Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker made about a measure on his desk to give terminally ill patients the right to chose physician-prescribed drugs to end their life. Disability advocates and county coroners are raising their concerns. Pritzker says he hasn’t made up his mind on the measure.
