What happened
Illinois introduced new legislation proposing the dismantling of the Department of Homeland Security. The proposal, announced by Representative Delia Ramirez, calls for the creation of a new Cabinet-level department focused on community safety. The bill seeks to abolish U.S. Customs and Border Protection and targets the dismantling of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized the bill, stating it was a radical push against the department and its work.

Why it matters
The proposed legislation aims to restructure federal functions currently housed within the DHS. Proponents suggest the move would reinvest all funds from DHS into community programs, estimating this investment to be at least $150 billion. The viability of this structural change hinges on its passage through the Illinois legislature.
DHS currently operates under Illinois jurisdiction.
