Edgar remembered at funeral service
Gov. J.B. Pritzker says former Gov. Jim Edgar had a unique ability to bring people together despite their differences.
Pritzker spoke Saturday at Edgar’s funeral service in Springfield.
Edgar died Sept. 14 at the age of 79 following complications related to treatment for pancreatic cancer.
Iranian charged for re-entry of removed alien
U.S. Border Patrol Commander Op At Large Gregory Bovino says Operation Midway Blitz has led to the arrest of an Iranian national who was convicted of aggravated kidnapping and criminal sexual abuse.
Bovino wrote in an X post the unnamed individual is facing a new felony charge for re-entry of a removed alien.
Over the weekend, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent notifications to Illinois, California and New York that ICE would engage with the Department of Justice and other federal agencies to end the three states’ obstruction of the apprehension and removal of criminal illegal aliens.
