Total bullshit

Judge Declines to Stop #NationalGuard Troops From Deploying in #Illinois, for Now

Illinois officials had sought to block the deployment as 200 National Guard troops from #Texas headed to #Chicago. Gov #JBPritzker called the mobilization “an #unconstitutional #invasion.”

She set a hearing for the issue on Thursday. Troops from Texas are on their way, according to a #military official.

#JBPritzker said he had directed state agencies to investigate what happened at the apartment building, citing reports of “ #children who were zip tied & held, some of them nearly naked” & “elderly people being thrown into a U-Haul for 3 hrs & detained.”Pritzker added he believed that some of the people were US #citizens.

“What kind of a country are we living in?” he said. [ #Trump country]

#JBPritzker also said he wanted to know
more about an episode in #Chicago Saturday when a federal agent shot & wounded a motorist who, acc/to federal ofcls, had rammed & boxed-in a law enforcement vehicle.

“It’s really hard to know exactly what the facts are, & they won’t let us access the facts,” he said. “They are just putting out their #propaganda. And then we’ve got to later determine what actually happened.”

#JBPritzker suggested that the #Trump admin, which planned to send 300 #NationalGuard troops to #Chicago, is intentionally heightening tensions. The administration wants to “create the war zone so they can send in even more troops,” he said.

Federal agents were “just picking up people who are #brown & #Black & then checking their credentials,” #JBPritzker said. He added: “They are the ones that are making it a war zone. They need to get out of #Chicago if they’re not going to focus on the ‘worst of the worst’, which is what the president said they were going to do.”

#JBPritzker singled out a late-night #BorderPatrol raid last week at an apartment building on #Chicago’s South Side, when video taken by bystanders showed residents — some #naked, including #women & #children — of the building restrained with zip ties.

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker blasted recent federal #immigration enforcement efforts in #Chicago on Sunday, & dismissed #DHS Secy [& dog killer] #KristiNoem’s assertions that the city was a “war zone”while blaming federal agents for escalating conflict.

“The secretary doesn’t know what she’s talking about,”Pritzker said in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,”adding that Chicagoans were “booing her on the street.”

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker condemned the #immigration *enforcement* [terrorism] in #Chicago, saying the #Trump admin was not pursuing criminals but “just picking up people who are #brown & #Black, & then checking their credentials”[if they bother]. Pritzker, who previously announced that Trump was sending 300 #NationalGuard #troops to the city, added the federal agents “are the ones that are making it a war zone.”

“With one voice, we are telling this unwarranted & #unconstitutional occupation by #ICE & potentially by #military #troops to get out of #Chicago. You are not helping us,” #JBPritzker declared.

#BrandonJohnson likewise condemned the aggressive ICE presence in downtown Chicago, saying residents are “shocked & appalled” by the sight of federal agents on city streets. “This stunt has nothing to do with public safety. This is about #politics, #money & #power,” he said.

#JBPritzker blasts plan for #NationalGuard deployment to #Chicago

#Pritzker says the #Trump admin is giving the go-ahead to send troops to Chicago, a move he & Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson called #unconstitutional & politically motivated.

The governor also expressed deep concern for the safety & well-being of #Illinois residents. “Our small businesses suffer when our residents & visitors who are shopping & eating are made to feel unsafe by the jackbooted thugs roaming around a peaceful downtown. #Parents are now scared to send their #kids to #school, for fear the #troops will grab their children. Students are afraid they’ll come home & find their parents have been disappeared by #ICE. This is no way to live,” he said.

“It’s a pretext for bringing #troops into the city & normalizing the #militarization of our cities, & we just won’t allow that,” said #JBPritzker during a press conference from his state offices in downtown #Chicago.

Of the federal #immigration & customs agents already operating in #Illinois, Pritzker accused them of wreaking “chaos” & “havoc” across communities. “They’re not targeting violent criminals or gang members. They’re arresting tamale vendors & delivery men & shaking down families.”

#JBPritzker said #DHS had notified #Illinois that a memo was sent to the Dept of #Defense requesting “the deployment of 100 #military #troops to Illinois claiming a need for the protection of #ICE personnel & facilities.”

The Democratic gov, who has been in contact w/ #Oregon ofcls, noted this was the same type of communication previously sent to #Portland, before the #Trump admin authorized 200 members of the Oregon #NationalGuard to perform *federal functions* there.
