Flanked by Illinois Democrats, community advocates, business leaders and clergy, Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson were unified in voicing that federal troops are not welcome or needed in Chicago.

Mayor Brandon Johnson told MSNBC on Sunday morning that "people will rise up against tyranny" if President Trump moves forward with his plan to send the national guard to police the streets of Chicago the way they're doing in Washington D.

Illinois politicians stood united downtown on Monday, saying there is no reason for President Donald Trump to send National Guard troops to Chicago to fight crime.
