Gov. Pritzker: comments on the federal invasion of Chicago: [View all]

Pritzker: â€œOver the weekend, we received numerous confirmed reports of federal agentsâ€¦abusing their power, intimidating innocent civilians, and waging war on our peopleâ€¦What Iâ€™ve been warning of is now being realized.â€

Pritzker: â€œIn any other countryâ€¦If federal agents marched down busy streets harassing civilians and demanding their papers, what would we say? I donâ€™t think weâ€™d have any trouble calling it what it is: Authoritarianism.â€
