Pritzker moves to boycott El Salvador for helping Trump deport suspected MS-13 gang member

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has ordered the state to review any investments and businesses with El Salvador, a step that can lead to a boycott with the help of the Central State of America with the Trump administration in deporting illegal immigrants.

In a statement, the democratic ruler said that this step was in response to the administration’s challenge to the orders of the court and the case of Kilmar Abrago Garcia, a member of the MS-13 gang suspected of human trafficking, which is being held in El Salvador.

“The US constitution guarantees legal measures. We are witnessing Donald Trump our basic constitutional rights in an actual time, and we must fight to restore power balance,” Pritzker said in a statement. “Illinois will defend the rule of law and do everything in our authority (to) preventing the Trump administration from tearing our basic rights.”
