Gov. Pritzker Takes Clemency Action

Governor JB Pritzker granted 20 clemency petitions today, in the largest group of petitions addressed since taking office.
 
In addition, earlier today, Gov. Pritzker announced pardons that will expunge 11,017 misdemeanor convictions for cannabis offenses involving less than 30 grams.
 
Earlier this year, Gov. Pritzker pardoned four individuals -including Miguel Perez, an Army veteran who was deported under President Trump's bigoted immigration policies but who has since become a U.S. citizen - and commuted the sentences of three individuals who were facing serious and incurable medical conditions.
