J. B. Pritzker

I am not afraid.

Do I think that he could do it?

He might.

But as I've said before, come and get me.

I mean, you're dead wrong, Mr. President and Mr. Vice President.

And I will stand up for the law and the Constitution.

That's what we do in the state of Illinois.

There's been zero accountability or transparency from ICE or the administration.

Last week, federal agents dressed in camouflage gear conducted a military style raid on an apartment building in South Shore, a neighborhood of Chicago.

They brought Black Hawk military helicopters and more than 100 agents in full tactical gear.

Even though it was supposedly a very dangerous and important mission, they brought dozens of cameras and set them up so that they could film their attack on the building in HD for social media.

See for yourself.

In a post on the social media site X, Pritzker said that the Trump administration's Department of War gave him an ultimatum, call up your troops or we will.

He characterized the demand as outrageous and un-American.

The governor posted that the Trump administration intends to federalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard sometime today.

Pritzker said there is no need for military troops to deploy in response to ongoing protests at the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility near Chicago.

He said state, county, and local law enforcement have been working together to ensure public safety.
