Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) on Monday framed President Donald Trump‘s move to send around 100 troops to Illinois as an authoritarian move and an “attack” on Americans.

Pritzker said the Trump administration is finalizing plans to send the troops to curb demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The move is similar to the government’s actions in Los Angeles and Portland, where troops were authorized for deployment after some protests against ICE agents carrying out deportation operations turned violent.
