Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said on Sept. 2 that they will fight President Donald Trump’s plan to send federal agents and National Guard troops to Chicago, saying it would amount to a “military occupation.”
“None of this is about fighting crime or making Chicago safer,” Pritzker said during a press conference with Johnson, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, all Democrats.
