1 00:00:01,490 --> 00:00:05,130 Speaker 1: From the WGLT newsroom, I'm Colleen Holden. The top judge 2 00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:08,408 Speaker 1: overseeing five central Illinois counties says money and resources are 3 00:00:08,409 --> 00:00:11,329 Speaker 1: the reason the 11th Judicial Circuit doesn't have a specialty 4 00:00:11,329 --> 00:00:15,369 Speaker 1: court for emerging adults. McLean County's latest behavioral health plan 5 00:00:15,369 --> 00:00:18,530 Speaker 1: recommends a diversion court for 18 to 25-year-olds. That's a 6 00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:21,729 Speaker 1: group experiencing rising rates of criminal justice involvement as crime 7 00:00:21,729 --> 00:00:23,409 Speaker 1: trends downward across the state. 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Casey Costigan says problem solving courts are excellent, 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,620 Speaker 1: but resources are already stretched thin. 10 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:35,259 Speaker 2: Even judicial resources are stretched, and we don't put in 11 00:00:35,259 --> 00:00:37,790 Speaker 2: the time that probation puts in. 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Costigan says McLean County is a leader in supporting emerging 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,278 Speaker 1: adults on probation. 14 00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:45,509 Speaker 1: The city of Bloomington's police chief says his department has 15 00:00:45,509 --> 00:00:49,589 Speaker 1: learned of previous immigration officers' presence from community members. Jamal 16 00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:53,068 Speaker 1: Symington says BPD has had no communication with immigration officials 17 00:00:53,069 --> 00:00:56,430 Speaker 1: in the past 3 years. State law prohibits police from 18 00:00:56,430 --> 00:01:00,509 Speaker 1: collecting immigration status. Symington says one exception is when undocumented 19 00:01:00,509 --> 00:01:01,970 Speaker 1: immigrants get arrested. 20 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,379 Speaker 1: In that procedure of being processed, they are fingerprinted. Those 21 00:01:06,379 --> 00:01:10,699 Speaker 1: fingerprint records are then transmitted to the federal government, the FBI. That's, that's, 22 00:01:10,769 --> 00:01:13,610 Speaker 1: that's beyond our control. That's the FBI. The FBI requires 23 00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:18,459 Speaker 1: us to fingerprint folks for arrest records. Symington gave a 24 00:01:18,459 --> 00:01:21,660 Speaker 1: presentation about immigration enforcement and policing this week to the 25 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: city's Police Accountability Board. 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: A new evidence-based funding formula for higher education has advanced 27 00:01:27,559 --> 00:01:30,279 Speaker 1: to the Illinois House floor for a vote. The bill 28 00:01:30,279 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: wants to make a more equitable funding system for funding 29 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: higher ed. Illinois State University professor Christy Borders testified before 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,459 Speaker 1: the committee on behalf of the university professionals of Illinois. 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Contrary to what some might believe, institutions cannot simply enroll 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,239 Speaker 1: our way out of this underfunding issue. Borders says Illinois 33 00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:52,779 Speaker 1: State University has had to make cuts to programs because 34 00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: of the lack of funding. 35 00:01:54,589 --> 00:01:57,379 Speaker 1: Some Abraham Lincoln artifacts intended to be displayed at his 36 00:01:57,379 --> 00:02:01,099 Speaker 1: Springfield Presidential Museum appear to be up for auction. These 37 00:02:01,099 --> 00:02:03,589 Speaker 1: items bear a striking resemblance to known artifacts from the 38 00:02:03,589 --> 00:02:06,230 Speaker 1: Taper collection. Some of the collection was sold last May 39 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:09,949 Speaker 1: to pay off the foundation's multi-million dollar acquisition debt. I'm calling.
