AG Raoul led a coalition of 22 attorneys general in defending a district court’s dismissal of the Trump administration’s lawsuit challenging the Protect Our Courts Act, a New York law that prohibits civil arrests in state courthouses unless backed by a judicial order, as well as two executive orders that promote public safety in state government buildings. 

“All of these measures promote public safety and New York state residents’ access to services they need. They are consistent with steps taken by many states, including Illinois, to ensure our residents can obtain state services safely and free from interference or threat. I am proud to lead my colleagues in urging the court to uphold the dismissal of the Trump administration’s lawsuit.” -AG Raoul
