President Trump has made another bold decision to deploy 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon, and other states as swarms of anti-ICE protesters continued to clash with federal agents, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker mentioned on Sunday night.
The Democrat was seen blasting Trump’s invasion hours after the president mobilized 300 National Guard members from California to Portland. This is where unrest has raged for over 100 consecutive days outside an immigration detention center.
This was a scene that has been playing out in Chicago since September. Pritzker mentioned how the plan defies his wishes, adding how the federal officials have yet to reach out to him for coordination or discussion regarding deployment.
