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

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.
