The $30 million toe in the water

The Illinois Democrats' proposal to ban the sale of Glock handguns has sparked a fierce backlash from Second Amendment advocates, who argue that the move would infringe on their constitutional rights.

The ban would effectively outlaw the sale of the popular handgun model, which is widely used by law enforcement agencies and civilians alike.

The Illinois State Rifle Association has come out strongly against the proposal, arguing that it would unfailry target law-abiding citizens who own Glock handguns.

The association has also pointed out that the ban would not address the root causes of gun violence in the state , which it attributes to a lack of mental health resources and a failure to enforcce existing gun laws.

What auditors flagged in the May filing

A familiar pattern from the 2019 crash

The announcement comes as tensions between law enforcement and anti-ICE protesters continue to escalate, with several incidents of violence reported in recent weeks .

On Monday, federal officials said that most anti-ICE protesters engaging in violence at Delaney Hall, the immigration detention center in Newark, are not from the local area.
