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.
