What is Illinois Safety-T act Civilians raise concerns

The Safety-T act, passed by the Illinois Criminal Justice Reform, will lead to the release of certain suspects charged with felonies like second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and arson. The act, passed in 2020, will release more than 400 criminal defendants. However, people are now concerned for their safety as criminals held for acts like aggravated battery, robbery, burglaries, hate crimes, aggravated DUIs, vehicular homicides, drug-induced homicides, and other drug offenses, including delivery of fentanyl and trafficking cases, will be free until they are proven guilty. In cases involving murder or armed robbery, judges will detain defendants under the new law if they find that the defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of a specific, identifiable person or persons. This act will strip judges of their right to issue a warrant to an absent defender. Rather, they will have to send a court order asking them to appear before the court.
