- State's Attorney's office says it will make it harder for ICE to access sensitive data
Cook County officials are working to restrict data sharing with Appriss Insights LLC, a vendor whose contract has been criticized for potentially exposing sensitive data to ICE through third-party databases like LexisNexis. Advocates argue this creates a loophole in local sanctuary laws, as ICE accessed over 13,000 records in Cook County via LexisNexis between March and September 2021, leading to immigration enforcement actions.
