Lawyers and veterans speak out against Trump's National Guard threat - FULL HEARING - NBC Chicago
Veterans, attorneys, and activists gathered in Chicago on Monday morning to denounce Trump’s threat to deploy federal troops and ICE agents to the city.
Speakers from About Face: Veterans Against the War and the National Lawyers Guild called the move unconstitutional, immoral, and a violation of federal law.
They urged National Guard members to refuse illegal orders and called on Governor Pritzker to back his words with action by protecting service members who resist. - Aired on 09/02/2025.
