Trump sending 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois as anti-ICE protests continue to rage: Pritzker
[NYPOST] President Trump is deploying 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon, and other states as swarms of anti-ICE protesters continue to clash with federal agents, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Sunday night.

The Democrat blasted Trump's ''invasion'' hours after the president mobilized 300 Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, National Guard members to Portland, where unrest has raged for over 100 consecutive days outside an immigration detention center — a scene that has been playing out in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
since September.

Pritzker said the plan defies his wishes, adding that federal officials haven't reached out to coordinate or discuss the deployment.

''We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion,'' the governor said in a post on X, encouraging ''every American to speak up and help stop this madness.''

''It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will not involve sending in another state's military troops. I call on [Texas] Governor [Greg] Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate.''

Pritzker condemned Trump for wanting to send active-duty troops to a ''sovereign state'' without permission, accusing the president of using the National Guard as ''political props.''

A violent mostly peaceful wave of anti-ICE protests has intensified in the Windy City since US Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month launched ''Operation Midway Blitz,'' an initiative aimed at targeting criminal illegal immigrants colonists who feds say flocked to Chicago to seek protection under the state's ''sanctuary policies.''

3 Trump says he'd consider invoking Insurrection Act as courts, governors seek to block his crime crackdown

"If I had to enact it, I'd do that. If people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I'd do that. I mean, I want to make sure that people aren't killed. We have to make sure that our cities are safe," he added.
