Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of the denial of pretrial release statute to the contrary, a non-citizen of the United States who entered the United States without a legal visa issued by the United States Department of State and who has been charged in the State with an offense for which pretrial detention may be ordered by the court and, at the time of the commission of the offense, did not have a legal visa is not eligible for pretrial release and must be held in pretrial detention pending trial.

This resolution (HR 83) urges Illinois to repeal the TRUST Act, a law that restricts local police from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. The TRUST Act prohibits police from asking about immigration status during routine stops, detaining individuals solely based on immigration status, sharing information with ICE, or entering agreements to detain people for immigration violations. The resolution argues these restrictions hinder law enforcement cooperation, risk losing federal funding, and reduce community safety by limiting police effectiveness. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law but formally requests the state government to seek repeal.

Provides that a State entity, local entity, or law enforcement agency may not adopt or maintain a law, ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, policy, directive, order, practice, or procedure, formal or informal, written or unwritten, that prohibits or materially restricts the State entity, local entity, or law enforcement agency from complying with or assisting in the enforcement of immigration laws. Includes mandatory duties of law enforcement agencies regarding immigration detainers. Requires a county jail, municipal jail, and the Department of Corrections to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other federal agency for temporarily housing persons who are the subject of immigration detainers and for the payment of the costs of housing and detaining those persons. Requires implementation of the Act in a manner consistent with federal laws and regulations governing immigration and discrimination, protecting the civil rights of all persons, and respecting the privileges and immunities of United States citizens. Limits home rule powers by providing that regulation of immigration enforcement is an exclusive power and function of the State. Repeals the Illinois TRUST Act. Makes corresponding changes in the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Repeals provisions in the Illinois Public Aid Code and the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act relating to medical services for certain noncitizens. Amends the Department of Human Services Act. Creates the Asylum Travel Expense Program in the Department of Human Services to provide noncitizens seeking asylum who are residing in Illinois transportation and travel expenses for travel to another state that prohibits law enforcement or other governmental agencies from assisting the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other federal government agency with immigration enforcement or to the country of origin of the noncitizen seeking asylum. Requires the method of transportation selected by the Department to be by the cheapest means to transport the noncitizen seeking asylum to the noncitizen's desired destination.
