Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."

You mean, like on January 6, 2021? What did President Trump do then? Oh yes, that's right. Nothing. Because he instigated the insurrection and wanted it to succeed. That ought to have rendered him ineligible as a candidate thenceforth.

If the federal government would pay for the local jails to hold undocumented immigrants once their detain notices take effect, locales would honor their holds. Stop expecting them to hold them for "no charge" forever and they'd have no problem with those offenders taking up space in their jails.
