Overview of Crime in Illinois

Illinois faces ongoing crime challenges, particularly in urban areas like Chicago, which accounts for a significant portion of the state's violent incidents. However, recent data shows mixed trends: while overall crime rates have fluctuated, there have been notable declines in homicides and certain violent crimes in 2025 so far, amid criticisms of policies like the SAFE-T Act and no-cash bail contributing to recidivism and low arrest rates. Statewide, the focus remains on gun violence, robberies, and socioeconomic disparities driving crime.  Per Grok

Chicago and IL have a crime problem. 

Illinois crime problems are greatly complicated by the presence of an estimated 500,000+ illegals and the hundreds of ICE agents across the state working to catch and deport them.

Illinois State Police FORCED to comply with mandatory LGBTQ and DEI training, or risk getting FIRED.

Internal training material provided to Libs of TikTok shows hyper woke LGBTQ and DEI propaganda being forced on police officers.

This includes training on:

- Using made-up pronouns

- Misgendering lessons

- Allowing MEN in WOMEN's bathrooms

- Promoting LGBTQ activism at work

- Promotion of race-based "privilege"

- Anti-capitalist narratives

- Compulsion to "disrupt oppression"

- And much more

Is this the best we can do to promote law enforcement?
