HAPPENING TODAY: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker reveals the Trump administration’s Department of War will be federalizing 300 members of the Illinois National Guard in the coming hours to patrol the streets of Chicago. Pritzker wrote on 𝕏: “This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.” “I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the State of Illinois.” Restore law and order to Chicago!

Four people were killed and 18 others were wounded in Chicago this weekend. Yet Governor JB Pritzker remains against President Donald J. Trump deploying troops to protect innocent civilians. This is the same governor who had no issue deploying the National Guard to protect politicians at the DNC.

Gov. Pritzker: One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into American cities is because he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections. If it becomes a norm for people, then it won't be abnormal to have troops at the ballot boxes. It's about intimidating people from going to the polls who would not vote for his party and about the ability to take control of the elections if it doesn't go his way.

In an interview with CBS News' Ed O'Keefe, Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker says his administration has not been briefed or contacted by anyone in the Trump administration regarding plans to send National Guard troops to Chicago. Two senior Department of Homeland Security sources tell CBS News federal troops could be deployed as soon as next week to the city. Pritzker said sending troops to Chicago without informing local officials is "disruptive," "dangerous," and "tends to inflame passions on the ground."
