Trump Threatens to Lock Up Pritzker as Troops Arrive in Chicago
"President Donald Trump said Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be put behind bars, a threat that comes a day after the Texas National Guard arrived in the third-largest US city.
“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!,” Trump said in a social media post, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Members of the Texas National Guard began arriving in the Chicago area on Tuesday after a federal judge declined to quickly issue a temporary order blocking the deployment. Trump has argued troops are needed to counter what he deemed to be violent protests against the US immigration crackdown."

The dumbass judge who refused to do an injunction against trump sending the Texas National Guard to Texas enabled this crap. All the judge did was give a "sternly worded warning not to do it"
After everything that has happened one would think these judges would be much wiser than to give this administration any benefit of the doubt.
