Governor Pritzker is urging Illinois residents to condemn hate and stand in solidarity with the Muslim and Jewish communities. The governor said “Hate has no home here in Illinois” while speaking yesterday alongside the Arab American Bar Association in Chicago. Pritzker warned that there has been a rise in hate crimes against Arabs and Jews in Illinois, which has been sparked by the war between Israel and Hamas. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said his office is helping train law enforcement partners to identify hate crimes and ensure those crimes are properly reported.
