FILE - In this May 25, 2016 file photo, Illinois Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, D-Hillside, speaks to lawmakers at the Capitol in Springfield, Ill. State legislators are attempting to boost immigrant protections in response to President Donald Trump's forceful orders on immigration, a move advocates say would essentially make Illinois a "sanctuary" state. One proposal sponsored by Welch says schools, medical facilities and places of worship don't have to give access to federal immigration authorities or local law enforcement working on their behalf.
