Pritzker says he will respond if Trump deploys National Guard to Chicago

JB Pritzker, the state of Illinois State, said that the state “will not stand idly” if President Donald Trump fulfills his threat to the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago to respond to the crime in Windy.

The ruler wrote on Wednesday on X.

“The procedure will be met with a response,” continued.

Pritzker’s comments are the latest in his recent conflict with Trump, as the federal government weighs whether they will send forces to Chicago.

Trump says that “Illinois Governor is incompetent”, the Chicago mayor should not call him to help the crime.

Last week, the ruler said that there is no crime emergency in Chicago, and Trump is trying to “manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans serving in the military uniform, and continue to abuse his strength to pay attention to the pain caused by a working families.”

“The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority,” said Pritzker on Saturday. “There is no state of emergency that calls for the President of the United States that defines the National Guard in Illinois, the deployment of the National Guard from other states, or sending the actual army to our own borders. We will continue to follow up on the law, defend the sovereignty of our state, and protect the people of Illinois.”

On Monday, Pritzker said that the potential federal publication is “unconstitutional” and “non -American”.

He said: “Donald Trump wants to use the army to occupy an American city, punish its defections and record political points.” “If this is happening in any other country, we will not face any problem calling it what it is – seizing dangerous power.”

The mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson, a democratic, was martyred with data showing that violent crime had decreased last year, including murders and theft overwhelmed by more than 30 %, and shootings decreased by 40 %. Although the crime is still rising compared to 2021, according to the statistics published by the Chicago police.

“The problem with the president’s approach is that it is unjustified, unjustified,” said Johnson on Friday. “The illegal deployment of the National Guard in Chicago has the ability to confirm tensions between the population and enforce the law when we know that confidence between the police and the population is a foundation to build safer societies.”

The mayor said later: “When we respond against tyranny, people United will always prevail.”

Other Illinois leaders have also criticized the potential step to send the forces to Chicago.

Trump responded to Pritzker and Johnson on Tuesday, where he wrote in a post on social media that the ruler was “incompetent” and that the mayor is “not better.”

Trump wrote on the social truth: “A truly lethal weekend in Chicago,” Trump wrote on the social truth. “6 deaths, 27 years of crime in the city. Pritzker -afflicted pancakes say the crime is under control, while it is in fact the exact opposite. He is an incompetent ruler who should call me to help. Mayor Johnson is not better.

This comes after Trump moved to enhance federal law enforcement in Washington, DC, in an attempt to reduce crime.

Hundreds of federal agents and the National Guard forces were deployed in the streets of the capital as part of the federal acquisition of the region.
