1 00:00:01,220 --> 00:00:04,860 Speaker 1: From the WGLT newsroom, I'm Colleen Holden. The top judge 2 00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:08,180 Speaker 1: overseeing five central Illinois counties says money and resources are 3 00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:11,060 Speaker 1: the reason the 11th Judicial Circuit doesn't have a specialty 4 00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:15,100 Speaker 1: court for emerging adults. McLean County's latest behavioral health plan 5 00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:18,260 Speaker 1: recommends a diversion court for 18 to 25-year-olds. That's a 6 00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: group experiencing rising rates of criminal justice involvement as crime 7 00:00:21,479 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: trends downward across the state. 8 00:00:23,739 --> 00:00:27,219 Speaker 1: Chief Justice Casey Costigan says problem solving courts are excellent, 9 00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: but resources are already stretched thin. 10 00:00:29,620 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: Even judicial resources are stretched, and we don't put in 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,528 Speaker 2: the time that probation puts in. 12 00:00:37,779 --> 00:00:40,779 Speaker 1: Costigan says McLean County is a leader in supporting emerging 13 00:00:40,779 --> 00:00:42,020 Speaker 1: adults on probation. 14 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:45,229 Speaker 1: The city of Bloomington's police chief says his department has 15 00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:49,330 Speaker 1: learned of previous immigration officers' presence from community members. Jamal 16 00:00:49,330 --> 00:00:52,830 Speaker 1: Symington says BPD has had no communication with immigration officials 17 00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:56,150 Speaker 1: in the past 3 years. State law prohibits police from 18 00:00:56,150 --> 00:01:00,259 Speaker 1: collecting immigration status. Symington says one exception is when undocumented 19 00:01:00,259 --> 00:01:01,709 Speaker 1: immigrants get arrested. 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: In that procedure of being processed, they are fingerprinted. Those 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,429 Speaker 1: fingerprint records are then transmitted to the federal government, the FBI. That's, that's, 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: that's beyond our control. That's the FBI. The FBI requires 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: us to fingerprint folks for arrest records. Symington gave a 24 00:01:18,199 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: presentation about immigration enforcement and policing this week to the 25 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,940 Speaker 1: city's Police Accountability Board. 26 00:01:23,889 --> 00:01:27,290 Speaker 1: A new evidence-based funding formula for higher education has advanced 27 00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:30,010 Speaker 1: to the Illinois House floor for a vote. The bill 28 00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:32,550 Speaker 1: wants to make a more equitable funding system for funding 29 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:36,889 Speaker 1: higher ed. Illinois State University professor Christy Borders testified before 30 00:01:36,889 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: the committee on behalf of the university professionals of Illinois. 31 00:01:40,529 --> 00:01:45,730 Speaker 1: Contrary to what some might believe, institutions cannot simply enroll 32 00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:49,970 Speaker 1: our way out of this underfunding issue. Borders says Illinois 33 00:01:49,970 --> 00:01:52,510 Speaker 1: State University has had to make cuts to programs because 34 00:01:52,510 --> 00:01:53,750 Speaker 1: of the lack of funding. 35 00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: Some Abraham Lincoln artifacts intended to be displayed at his 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,839 Speaker 1: Springfield Presidential Museum appear to be up for auction. These 37 00:02:00,839 --> 00:02:03,330 Speaker 1: items bear a striking resemblance to known artifacts from the 38 00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:05,970 Speaker 1: Taper collection. Some of the collection was sold last May 39 00:02:05,970 --> 00:02:09,850 Speaker 1: to pay off the foundation's multi-million dollar acquisition debt. I'm calling.
