House Bill 5024---awaiting to be signed by Governor Pritzker---restricts the location of newly created federal immigration detention centers in Illinois.
Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson says the bill will mean {quote}: "no Illinois community will be forced to absorb a detention facility in the shadow of its schools, its churches, or its homes".
In January, Broadview adopted its own municipal ordinance restricting the location of new detention facilities within its borders.
