- This statement followed weeks of rising tensions after the White House ordered National Guard troops to Chicago on October 4, despite vocal opposition from state and city officials.
- Governor Pritzker criticized the federal deployment as a 'manufactured performance' and said calling in troops within state borders is 'outrageous' and unnecessary.
