Verification that the listed charges are Class 4 felonies under Illinois law, that state/local policies or directives prevented detention on immigration hold, and court or booking records show the suspect was released after the court appearance.
Unable to complete full verification: several credible Illinois legal sources and local court records needed to confirm whether the specific charges filed in Lake County were Class 4 felonies and whether Illinois sanctuary policies legally prohibited pretrial detention in this case. DHS press releases assert these facts, and local reporting indicates the defendant was released at his initial court appearance and later arrested by ICE on July 19, 2025, but I could not access independent court charging documents or the Lake County judge's release order to definitively confirm statutory classifications and the legal basis for release. Recommend review of Lake County court docket, charging documents, and Illinois statutes (including any 2025 amendments) for confirmation.
