Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.

So, has Pritzker ensured that he has constitutional loyalists leading the national guard, who are prepared and willing to refuse an order to federalize? Like, every Dem Governor needs to purge their national guard leadership of anyone they aren't confident would refuse an order to federalize.
