New research shows 75 percent of tropical forests were disrupted by extreme heat and drought during the 2023-24 El Niño, and that fire-derived ozone is eroding their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Many of those children have been detained in locations where lawyers and family members couldn’t find them, such as hotels and hold rooms in office buildings.

A chart showing children in ICE detention rose sharply under Trump between January 2025 and July 2026, with a massive expansion of the arrest of older children, as well as babies/toddlers, compared to the period between January 2024 and January 2025 under Biden.

ICE arrested more than twice as many children this year through July as it did in the same period last year. Thus far in Donald Trump’s second term, ICE has arrested more than 8,500 children. 🧵

When agents stop people for how they look, US citizens are caught as a matter of course. When filming agents leads to arrest, warning your neighbors becomes a risk. When a citizen can be held with no lawyer, no phone call, the only protection for any American is whether an agent believes them.

Experts have long warned that immigration dragnets and the erosion of civil rights for immigrants will inevitably result in the erosion of rights for citizens. Those warnings are coming true.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 06/10/2026

Donald Trump's tariffs and war of choice in Iran are costing Illinois farmers their livelihoods. Today, I'm signing an Executive Order and issuing a state disaster declaration to provide emergency support, protections, and real relief from skyrocketing diesel prices.

Governor JB Pritzker issued a state disaster proclamation and signed Executive Order 2026-08 to provide relief on diesel fuel costs for the agriculture industry during the fall harvest season as part of his continued efforts to support Illinois farmers.

The executive order directs the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and the Illinois State Police (ISP) to allow on-road use of dyed diesel typically used for agricultural purposes. The Executive Order also directs state agencies to consider additional protections for farmers and gives the state greater flexibility to respond to continued disruptions in fuel markets and the agricultural economy.
