Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

the day before what was to be my last day at work, management asked for my badge and escorted me from the facility where i had worked for 16+ years. I have disputed my vacation pay as i know they still owe me for 5 days, and they have yet to get back to me. I have filed for unemployment which will probably be denied. I was sexually harassed, which they did nothing about, someone threatened to kill me, which they did nothing about, and the latest someone has threatened to come to my house and rape me. I told them i didn't want to work where someone has made these threats to me, of course they just laughed. I do not have the means to get a lawyer so I was just wondering what I should do. thank you

All of this, especially the part about the threat of someone coming to your house to rape you, is outrageous. You should contact an attorney with sexual harassment experience immediately. You should also file a police report. In the meantime, you can get information about filing a charge of discrimination against your former employer at www.eeoc.gov.
