Immigration Backlash: Illinois DHS Secretary Dulce Quintero is facing renewed GOP criticism over alleged voter-registration mailer practices tied to public benefits. Public Safety: Illinois is pushing Memorial Day seat-belt enforcement through May 26, citing crash deaths tied to improper restraint. Environment & Health: Illinois EPA is renewing grant funding for local governments to run residential sharps collection sites, aiming to safely dispose of needles and syringes.
