Illinois in Focus

(The Center Square) – The war of words continues between President Donald Trump and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker over public safety in the streets of Chicago and beyond. Monday evening returning from the Middle East peace summit on Air Force One, Trump said Pritzker should ask for help with public safety. “I think he should beg for help because he's running a bad operation,” Trump told reporters. “He's letting people be killed in his city because he doesn't want it,” referring to a callus of the National Guard. Clashes between law enforcement and protesters continued into Tuesday with chemical agents being deployed to scatter a growing crowd in Chicago surrounding federal immigration enforcement.
