"On Tuesday, Trump said he would "love to have" Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, call him and request troops, adding that he would "gain respect" for Pritzker if he asked for them."
"In response, Pritzker said "Let me be clear: The president is begging me to call him, to ask him to do something that we don't want.""
"A federal judge in San Francisco ruled on Tuesday that Trump's use of National Guard troops in June in response to anti-immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles was illegal."
"Vladeck, who has written about the president's use of the National Guard on his One First Substack newsletter, says Trump could attempt to deploy troops from Trump friendly states to those that don't want them a move that would put the U.S. in "uncharted territory.""
President Trump continues to press for deployment of the National Guard to multiple cities and seeks governors to formally request federal troops. He indicated he would "gain respect" for governors who ask and urged Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to request forces, a suggestion Pritzker rejected. A federal judge in San Francisco ruled that a June deployment of Guard troops in Los Angeles was illegal, a decision limited to California. Legal analysis notes it is legally easier to deploy Guard forces when governors request help, while moving troops from friendly states to unwilling ones could create unprecedented legal conflict.
