Governor Pritzker also said staging began on Monday, with many of the federal agents being relocated from immigration operations in Los Angeles.How could President Trump use the National Guard in Chicago? "The Trump plan is to use any excuse to deploy armed military personnel to Chicago. If someone flings a sandwich at an ICE agent, Trump will try to go on TV and declare an emergency in Chicago. I'm imploring everyone, if and when that happens, do not take the bait," Pritzker said. Republican state Representative Martin McLaughlin says having guardsmen in Chicago could be a good move.Trump calls Chicago 'a hellhole' | What to know about crime stats, FBI's local anti-violence efforts "I'm trying to understand why an American in uniform standing on a street corner trying to protect other Americans is a threat to anyone," McLaughlin said.
