US EditionKevin Stitt Questions Greg Abbott's Troop Deployment to Illinois
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt argues the deployment violates federalist principles and says President Trump should have federalized Illinois' National Guard first.
- On Thursday, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt criticized the Texas-to-Illinois Guard deployment as violating federalist principles and said he was surprised Abbott sent troops.
- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent the Texas National Guard to Illinois at President Trump's request to support federal agents in Chicago, framed as a crackdown on violent crime involving hundreds of troops earlier this week.
- The judge temporarily blocked the deployment Thursday, citing founding principles, and the states filed briefs opposing it, while Stitt told the New York Times `We believe in the federalist system—that's states' rights`.
- The NGA's chairman, Kevin Stitt, said `we're not going to be weighing into the politics`, after Pritzker and Newsom threatened to withdraw if the NGA did not condemn the deployment.
- Stitt warned about the precedent's future use, saying Trump should have federalized the Illinois guard before asking Texas to send troops and supports law-and-order goals while fearing long-term implications.
