Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has expressed strong opposition to President Donald Trump's proposed mass deportation plan, labeling it as potentially 'unconstitutional and illegal.' Pritzker's concerns stem from Trump's intention to utilize the military for the mass deportation of criminal illegal aliens, a move Pritzker believes is 'uncalled for.' Pritzker's stance has drawn attention to the legal and constitutional implications of using military forces for domestic law enforcement.
