“Don’t Mess With The Midwest” — Pritzker Declares Victory Over Trump in Court

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced a significant legal victory this week as a federal court ruled against President Trump’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois streets. The case, Illinois v. Trump, challenged the administration's authority to federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement over the objections of state leadership. Pritzker framed the ruling as a win for state sovereignty and a rebuke of "illegal" executive overreach, stating, "Don't mess with the Midwest." The Governor highlighted that since 2025, the Illinois Attorney General’s office has filed 63 lawsuits against the Trump administration to protect residents from various federal policies. Pritzker noted a high success rate, with 93% of these cases resulting in rulings favorable to the state. He reaffirmed his commitment to using the courts as a "firewall" to defend the rights and safety of Illinois families against what he described as unauthorized federal interference.
