Illinois Republicans are praising the pause pre-trial detention of the Illinois SAFE-T Act. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that ending cash-bail would not happen until they hear arguments about the law.

Gov. Pritzker says he’s disappointed with the decision of the court but believes that the no-cash bail law will stand the test of constitutionality.
