Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has slammed the Trump administration for using federalized National Guard troops from Texas to 'invade' liberal states.
In a late night X post on Sunday, Pritzker revealed 400 members of the Texas National Guard will be deployed to Illinois and Oregon, among other locations, to deal with anti-ICE protesters and Trump's so-called war on crime.
'We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion,' Pritzker said. 'No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
'It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.'
Shortly after his revelation, it emerged that a late-night court hearing had taken place in Oregon where Trump-appointed judge Karin Immergut blocked federalized National Guard members from any state from being deployed to Portland.
Trump is particularly cracking down on states run by liberal governors, claiming on Sunday that Oregon is 'burning to the ground' after describing Chicago, Illinois as the 'world's most dangerous city.'
Pritzker had called on Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott to 'immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate.
'There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation,' Pritzker added.

The way to solve this mess is citizens of the city / state sue in a federal court that the police and courts have done nothing to address crime in their communities. Taxes were paid, laws have been created yet the leadership do nothing to enforce the law nor provide police protection. Maybe under the fraud statue. Drag them into court and the media to defend their fail policies. Remember that the process is the penalty! If nothing else there will be a change in leadership once the truth comes out!
Federalized National Guard seems to be a way to answer the FA by all these domestic enemies with titles like ‘mayor’ and ‘governor’ in insurrection states.
MAKE IT 4000 —OR 40,000 & REALLY PISS OFF THE CORPULENT “GOVERNOR”
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SHOW HER VIDEO OF THE LAST 4 YEARS THERE
