Pritzker: Trump Admin Turning Chicago into a War Zone with ICE Raids
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has responded to claims that Chicago is a “war zone,” asserting that it is the Trump administration’s actions, specifically the influx of federal agents and aggressive immigration raids, that are creating the turmoil. These raids, which have involved violent tactics and the detention of U.S. citizens, have sparked national backlash and are being investigated. Additionally, the president authorized the National Guard to protect immigration agents and discussed using Democrat-led cities for military training, further escalating tensions. Pritzker has stated that the administration’s actions are designed to create chaos, while Mayor Brandon Johnson echoed these sentiments, condemning the administration’s approach as authoritarian.
