"We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion," the Democratic governor wrote.
"It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops."
Pritzker also disclosed that he called Texas Governor Greg Abbot to "immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate."
