Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker calls armed immigration officers in Chicago an 'attack on Americans'

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker denounced the Trump administration’s deployment of armed Border Patrol and immigration officers, some wearing masks, in Chicago and other parts of the state at a news conference Monday. He called the moves “authoritarianism” and an attack on Americans. Bristling from weeks of what he labeled “chaos” — including a weekend of clashes between the agents and demonstrators — Pritzker condemned armed officers patrolling city streets and the Chicago River stopping and arresting people. His message to them: “Get out of Chicago. You are not helping us.”
