Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) on Sunday said President Donald Trump can’t invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the National Guard to Chicago unless there is a “rebellion” or an “insurrection.”
“The Insurrection Act is called the Insurrection Act for a reason. There has to be a rebellion. There has to be an insurrection in order for him to be allowed to invoke it,” Pritzker told George Stephanopoulos on the ABC News program This Week.
