Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed an executive order Thursday authorizing the creation of an accountability commission after the deployment of federal officers to the state.
At a news conference, Pritzker announced the creation of the Illinois Accountability Commission, dedicated to “truth, transparency and justice.” Tensions have risen in the state as demonstrators call for more accountability from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
“I am angry because this is not the country that I want for us,” Pritzker said. “This is not the country that any of us thought that we were living in. And yet here it is, nine months into an administration, I wish we didn’t have to do this. Can you imagine that we have to do this in this country?”
Pritzker said the commission will have three core missions: Creating a public record of the alleged abuses, capturing the impact on families and communities and recommending actions to prevent further harm and to pursue justice.
