there's a rather unusual twist in this debate surrounding the illinois eavesdropping bill. the aclu helped to draft that bill. we spoke to them, and they tell us it will not hamper people from videotaping their encounters with police. carlos miller who runs that blog also agrees. joie, there is a sense of confusion. that's the concern that's being raised. this legislation does not clearly specify that it's okay to record police, and as we saw in that incident just last week involving that motorist, either that officer was confused or he was intentionally misleading that motorist when he said it's against the law in illinois. >> you know, in illinois, but, look, everybody uses their cell phone cameras everywhere. have other states made any effort to do this? >> not so much specifically to this degree. you do have about a dozen states that are those two-party consent states and there are other laws where it gets hairy. nothing quite to this magnitude. illinois has really been tagged the state that is toughest on this particular issue. >> "america tonight's" adam may. thanks.

the chair now recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. gutierrez, for five minutes. r. gutierrez: as "the new york times" said in an editorial last week, there's an immigration crisis looming next year but has nothing to do with the border. rather, it's the huge effort that will be needed to fulfill the president's executive action and get millions, millions of american families out of harm's way by protecting them from deportation and destruction. sure, we are celebrating the series of executive actions taken by the president, but we're also rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. so i want to talk just a little bit about what we're doing in the city of chicago and what i'm hoping my colleagues here in congress and my colleagues

chicago, illinois. alice groves' daughter was found dead inside his abandoned warehouse in july of 2013. the police report indicates the body of tiara groves was found naked and die composing with evidence suggesting she'd been bound and gagged. she was just 20 years old. the cook county medical examiner's office could not determine a specific cause, so it declared the death of tiara groves a homicide by unspecified means. a copy of the death certificate obtained by "all in" through "chicago" magazine also noted recent heroin and alcohol use which it said contributed to but was not an underlying cause of her death. one homicide in a city where every year, there are hundreds. chicago is a city that is segregated both among the living and the dead. and you can't look at the crime rate here without seeing the legacy of segregation and its enduring power. >> you don't see crime, you don't hear about crime in downtown chicago on the north sides of the city. and when it happens, it's so high profile, it gets
