Pritzker stated on X platform that "we're being told the Trump Administration wants to deploy 100 military troops to Illinois."
Pritzker expressed his worries about records of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as agents misusing their authority in the state.
He also added that "one thing is clear — none of this is making Illinois safer."
