The SAFE-T Act gives drug cartels free rein in Illinois, writes House Republican leader Jim Durkin.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker is joined by lawmakers on Feb. 22, 2021, after signing a criminal justice and police reform bill.
So how does this affect the war on drugs? Under Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act, it’s possible drug kingpins, smugglers, traffickers or distributors of illegal drugs won’t be detained before trial, no matter the quantity of deadly substances they are accused of possessing. Astonishingly, Pritzker and the Democrats don’t seem to believe there is a connection between drug dealers, street gangs, cartels and the gun violence our state sees daily.
That scenario plays out weekly and monthly throughout Illinois. Those drugs are the lifeblood of the street gangs that have destroyed families and terrorized neighborhoods in Illinois.
