Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at addressing federal enforcement in Illinois, telling CBS News that his newly created Illinois Accountability Commission will serve as a permanent record of alleged civil rights abuses by federal agents in Chicago.
Pritzker told CBS News, in an exclusive interview, the state is documenting "unlawful attacks" by ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers under Operation Midway Blitz .
"They are attacking people on the ground — ICE, CBP — going after people just because they're Brown or Black," Pritzker said. "No one above them is holding them responsible. Greg Bovino, who is running the operation in Chicago , isn't holding them accountable. No one is. So we're going to have to keep a record."
