“Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker promised to challenge President Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard to the nation’s third-largest city, calling the move unconstitutional and un-American,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The clash highlighted the rocky path the president faces in trying to expand his troop rollout into more blue cities.”
Said Pritzker: “The state of Illinois is ready to stand against this military deployment with every peaceful tool we have. We will see the Trump administration in court.”
