Members of the Texas National Guard have been seen at an Army Reserve Training Center in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, ABC News has learned.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday shared a photo on social media showing what he called the state's "elite" National Guard boarding a plane, but he did not say where they were headed.

Groups of soldiers have been seen walking the grounds of that Elwood training center, with most of the troops apparently having arrived on Monday night, according to ABC News’ Chicago station WLS.

"Illinois will not let the Trump administration continue on their authoritarian march without resisting," Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said. "We will use every lever at our disposal to stop this power grab because military troops should not be used against American communities."

1. Did they bring their Texas Screwworms with them?

Should they be fumigated at the border?

2. Not really a suburb

But a rural town an hour from the Loop in good traffic. And a trip down the Stevenson seldom sees good traffic. Laughable and sad as well. This government has fallen so far down.

3. The southern border must be secure...no more Mexican cartels invading...

So there will be hope in securing the Illinois/ Lake Michigan/Wisconsin border from Counterfeit Poutine Cartels.
The evil cartels that threaten the Pasty industry, unfairly indoctrinating our children against rutabaga. Pure propaganda.

Gravy and cheese?…with fries??

Secure the northern border now!

Thank you for your disappointment in this matter.

4. Why aren't they searching for the bodies of the children drowned in July floods?

6. No media coverage for dead kids.
