Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a Chicago native, on Monday echoed Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's alarm over President Donald Trump's plan to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago and other cities, calling the move an "outrageous assault on Illinois and Oregon" and invoking the GOP's own rhetoric on states' rights.
"If ‘states' rights' mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime. Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon," Clinton wrote on X.
Pritzker said Sunday the administration is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard to Illinois, Oregon and other locations, adding he received no direct outreach from federal officials. "We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion… There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation," he said in a statement.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) confirmed the deployment, saying he backs the president's request. "I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials. You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it," Abbott said.
