Pritzker should get clarification on the authorities and if it is in fact Title 32 order armed forces under his command to lawfully prevent them from unlawfully entering his state's territory

Poses an interesting question: what could he do and under what authority? If they are not armed, are just assisting ICE and not interfering with the state’s civil authority, probably nothing other than sue to enforce the posse comitatus act? If they’re armed, then maybe state gun laws?

Even if they're unarmed, if they're T32 that means they are operating under the legal authority of the governor of TX and they have no legal ability to be performing any official duties without permission of the IL state government

What if they’re T32C9?

Still derive their legal authority and ultimately receive official orders from the governor of their state

It may be preferable to use police rather than ILNG.

He can arrest the Guardsmen for a host of crimes if they’re not federalized, like possessing illegal guns or equipment without permission.

There's all sorts of fun things in the Illinois statutes; e.g. nuisance, if they're encroaching on or impeding a public road or sidewalk.

I'm not convinced it's T32 because at this point the only people left at NGB are imbeciles or tanked out of their mind, but there's only a couple options and the fact that the admin is going to stumble around muttering about what they have the right to do doesn't remove the need for authorities

Either the states are sovereign entities or they aren't, and if we're going down the path of the latter we should just rip that bandaid off now

Wasn't your country a federation or something?

It still is. He says sh1t to get everyone riled up. The National Guard came to Los Angeles first, stood, around, & then were props in a propaganda film that would make Leni Riefenstahl cringe - the Battle of MacArthur's Park. And a judge just told them it's illegal.

The *California* National Guard came to LA under vaguely defined Federal authority which was later found to be illegal. This is a somewhat different thing, where they're sending the *Texas* National Guard to *Illinois*. National Guards being in theory state armies that can be used by the feds.

No, they can't. He has more leeway in DC because he actually controls the deployment of the NG there. There will be the same issues deploying NG in IL as in CA.

no, it's different. the guard deploying into CA were federalized. in the scenario that it is under Title 32, as speculated here, they wouldn't be federalized and Texas invading illinois (bc the deployment would be against the wishes of the state of illinois).
