Prior to the press conference on Monday, Governor JB Pritzker had a press interaction on a water taxi on the Chicago River. Pritzker stated that Trump has not contacted him directly regarding the potential deployment of federal troops to Chicago. Pritzker said, “Strangely, the president seems afraid of me and won’t call.” Pritzker also emphasized that any such deployment would be unconstitutional and vowed to take legal action if it occurred. #trump #pritzker #nationalguard #chicago #trumptower
