ICE detains three Collinsville teenagers, Illinois officials demand answers

June 9, 2026 · Morrisonville, IL, Mexico

Three Collinsville, Illinois teens — Jesus Alexis Cruz, 16; Hector Cruz Sanchez, 19; and Jonathan Godoy, 19 — were detained by ICE on June 9, 2026, in Morrisonville, Illinois, while traveling for a summer job doing internet line work. They were pulled over by the Morrisonville Police Department, after which ICE took them into custody. Cruz, 16, is being held at an unidentified detention facility in Texas. Sanchez and Godoy are detained at Ste. Genevieve Detention Center in Missouri. The Illinois Attorney General's Office noted that state law sharply limits local police participation in federal immigration enforcement. State Rep. Katie Stuart called the incident "horrifying" and began working with the governor's office and attorney general. Candidate Marsie Geldert-Murphey questioned whether local police violated the Illinois Way Forward Act and Trust Act by handing a minor to ICE.
