Gov. JB Pritzker again makes Nazi comparisons after President Trump threatens DC-like takeover in Chicago Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says President Donald Trump “has absolutely no right and no legal ability” to send National Guard troops to Chicago following president’s threat.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t showing up to work because they face a double threat:

📌 ICE could roll up to the job site, because it’s easier to target hardworking people than go after real criminals.

📌 When the work’s done, some employers refuse to pay and threaten to call ICE.
