Elgin library clarifies policy on ICE agents

chicagotribune.com

Elgin's Gail Borden Public Library cannot prevent ICE agents from entering its facilities but will not assist them without a warrant. The library, a public space, is unable to stop ICE agents from being on its grounds or inside buildings. However, staff will not collect patron immigration information and will only cooperate with a valid court order. This policy aims to reassure patrons amid increased ICE activity in Elgin, with the library emphasizing its commitment to remaining a welcoming and safe place for all community members.
