“Chicago descends in anarchy and chaos because this slob cares more about stimulating her Anti-Trump credits on X That he does not do it to make his city safe, “said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, in Fox News Digital.

“Pritzker should be ashamed of himself,” she said.

Pritzker, which has long been considered a potential presidential candidate in 2028, said that he had refused to comply with the “Ultimatum” of the Trump administration to deploy the troops of the Illinois National Guard, the appellant “absolutely scandalous and non -American”.

“We must now start calling this what is: Trump’s invasion,” said Pritzker.

The mayor of Pritzker and Chicago, Brandon Johnson, filed a complaint Monday Seeking to prevent the Trump administration from deploying the national guard troops in Chicago.

Abbott said he had deployed Texas troops to “ensure the security of federal officials” in the Blue States where the demonstrators rejected the efforts to expulsion from the US immigration and customs (ICE).

“You can either fully apply the protection of federal employees or move away and let Texas Guard do it,” said Abbott.

Pritzker said that the Trump administration had never contacted it directly on the deployment of Texas, but that on Sunday, the Ministry of War warned it to “call your troops, or we will”.

“For Donald Trump, it was never a matter of security,” said Pritzker. “These are control.”

Pritzker has become a prominent voice rejecting the agenda of Trump’s second term, especially in recent months when the president threatened to deploy national guards in Chicago.

“It started with federal agents, he will soon understand the deployment of federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and this will now imply sending military troops from another state,” said Pritzker, while exhorting Abbott, a Loyerist from Trump, to refuse to coordinate.

Pritzker criticized the Trump administration for using the National Guard as “political accessories” and urged Americans to “speak and help stop this madness”.

“I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the state of Illinois,” said Pritzker. “The state, the county and the local police worked together and coordinated to ensure public security around the installation of BroadView Ice, and to protect the capacity of people to exercise their constitutional rights peacefully.”

The anti-ice demonstrators gathered for weeks to install BroadView Ice, demanding transparency as to the conditions within the detention center and rejecting the deportation of the Trump administration in Chicago.

“I will not call our National Guard to advance Trump’s assault acts against our people,” said Pritzker. “In Illinois, we will do everything in our power to monitor our neighbors, defend the Constitution and defend the rule of law.”

The Democrats of Illinois, including Pritzker, Johnson and Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, wrote against Trump since he told his cabinet in August that he was “ready to go to Chicago, who is in great difficulty”.

Pritzker and his Democratic colleagues responded by calling Trump as a “budding dictator” like the White House for months Deployment of the American National Guard in Chicago.
