Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said on Sunday that the Trump administration is surging Texas National Guard troops to Illinois and Oregon.

In a statement on Sunday night, Pritzker said President Donald Trump has ordered 400 troops from Texas to be deployed to those two states, as well as other undisclosed locations throughout the country. Pritzker also said he received no advance notice from the administration and heard about the deployment from the Illinois National Guard.
