- The Trump administration has expressed criticism towards Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker over his handling of protests against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has specifically pointed out Gov. Pritzker’s lack of response to a particularly chaotic anti-ICE protest.
- This protest escalated into a riot, which necessitated federal authorities’ intervention.
- In response to the chaos, federal authorities resorted to using tear gas and other non-lethal measures to control the situation.
- The criticism is part of broader tensions between the Trump administration and several blue state governors over immigration enforcement policies.
