(735 ILCS 5/10-118) (from Ch. 110, par. 10-118)
Sec. 10-118.
Proceedings in case of emergency.
Whenever it appears by
the complaint, or by affidavit,
that any one is illegally held in custody or restraint, and that there
is good reason to believe that such person will be taken out of the
jurisdiction of the court in which the application for a
habeas corpus is made, or will suffer some irreparable injury before
compliance with the order can be enforced, the court may enter an order
directed to the sheriff or other proper officer,
commanding him or her to take the prisoner thus held in custody or restraint,
and forthwith bring him or her before the court to be dealt with
according to law. The court may also, if it is deemed
necessary, order the apprehension of the person charged with causing the
illegal restraint. The officer shall
execute the order by bringing the person therein named before the court,
and the like return and proceedings shall be had
as in other orders of habeas corpus.
