(The Center Square) – In today’s edition of Illinois in Focus Daily, The Center Square Editor Greg Bishop shares comments from President Donald Trump, Illinois House Speaker Chris Welch, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson and state Reps. Patrick Windhorst and John Cabello about public safety around immigration enforcement in Chicago and beyond.

Bishop also discusses some of the things that could come up with the start of the Illinois General Assembly’s fall veto session Tuesday, including the potential for ethics reforms with former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan reporting to prison. The legislature could also tackle energy policy and migrant sanctuary policies.
