Pritzker announced the deployment of the Texas National Guard to the states

Illinois Governor Jay B. Pritzker announced the order of US President Donald Trump to send 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon and other American states. This was announced on October 6 by Pritzker on the social network X.

"Tonight, President Trump ordered the deployment of 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon and other regions of the United States," the publication said.

The governor stressed that this decision was made without his approval. He described the military deployment as an invasion and demanded that Texas Governor Greg Abbott immediately withdraw all support for this initiative.

Earlier, on October 4, it was reported that Trump demanded that Pritzker introduce the National Guard to combat crime, which the politician did not agree with. Pritzker explained that there was no need for such a measure.
