CHICAGO — The governor of Illinois says President Trump is planning to send Texas National Guard troops to Chicago. Democrat JB Pritzker told reporters he believes the staging of those troops is already underway, along with other federal officers that will soon enter the city. Pritzker made his comments just moments after Trump said he plans to deploy the Guard to the Windy City to help fight crime. Pritzker once again said he does not want troops on the streets of Chicago, and takes offense when Trump calls the city a “hell-hole.” He vows to fight troop deployments in court.
