Illinois is pushing back against ICE abuse.

Last week, Gov. JB Pritzker signed HB 1312, a landmark bill that strengthens protections for immigrants facing ICE aggression.

This is the action we must demand nationwide. https://nbcnews.to/4pycHSh

Across the country, AI systems have already:
1. Denied Medicare enrollees critical care
2. Led to the wrongful arrest of Black Americans
3. Blocked low-income families from rental housing

Now’s the time for protection, not a free pass for tech billionaires.
