SPRINGFIELD – Amid rampant immigration enforcement and alleged due process violations for immigrants across the country, State Senator Omar Aquino championed a measure to fortify representation for non-citizen Cook County residents undergoing immigration proceedings.

“The federal administration has targeted immigrant communities to instill fear and chaos in our neighborhoods, but Illinois is pushing back,” said Aquino (D-Chicago). “We are a welcoming state and we believe in the right to due process for all, regardless of a person’s immigration status.”

Literacy programs in the 2nd Senate District have been awarded $135,000 to grow and enhance their services, thanks to support from State Senator Omar Aquino.

“The education and literacy programs offered by Erie Neighborhood House and the Association House help Chicagoans gain the skills they need to access key employment and economic opportunities, fostering upward mobility,” said Aquino (D-Chicago). “This much-needed funding will strengthen these opportunities for residents and their families.”

The latest round of funding from Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias includes nearly $22 million for library services and $6 million to support adult, family and workplace literacy programs provided by volunteer organizations, community colleges, school districts and nonprofits. Association House of Chicago and Erie Neighborhood House, located in Aquino’s district, are set to receive a combined $135,000 through the grant program.
