Illinois Governor JB Pritzker strongly opposes President Trump's reported plan to deploy the military to Chicago, calling it unconstitutional, unwarranted, and a power grab aimed at intimidating political rivals. He emphasizes that Chicago's crime rates are improving and that the city is capable of handling public safety without federal military intervention, which he views as an overreach and a threat to democracy. Pritzker vows to oppose the plan through legal action and public resistance, asserting that such actions undermine local sovereignty and are driven by political motives.
