Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker says the state follows the law. President Donald Trump has often singled out Chicago and Illinois, which have some of the strongest sanctuary laws in the U.S.

The lawsuit comes as Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee next month.

The Trump administration sued officials in Illinois, Chicago and Cook County on Thursday over policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement authorities, accusing them of obstructing its immigration crackdown.
