Just 0.2% of FOID card holders registered banned items
Of Illinois’ 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders, the latest Illinois State Police data shows just 0.2%, or 4,877 people, have registered a banned item.
There is less than a month left before the Jan. 1 deadline to register banned items with Illinois State Police or criminal penalties could apply, pending any possible court injunction against the deadline.
More migrant feeding resources
Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the Illinois Department of Human Services, and the Greater Chicago Food Depository announced an additional $4 million to provide meals to asylum seekers.
At the request of the city of Chicago, the state has provided over $10 million in funding to the Greater Chicago Food Depository to deliver meals to asylum seekers while the city worked to procure additional vendors.
Due to delays in the procurement process, the state and Food Depository will now contribute an additional $2 million each to ensure asylum seekers are fed through the month of December.
