the comments attributed to Jay Jones are appalling, unacceptable, and inconsistent with the person I’ve known.

I spoke frankly with Jay about my disgust with what he had said and texted.

So as much as these local leaders and governors talk about cooperating and have the backs of our law enforcement officers, this is what we have to put up with every single day and all we’re doing is getting criminals and terrorists and…

This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful.

They suck, and we’ll win, and God will bless us, and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day.

We’re going to enforce the law.

The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for keeping it safe.

There is no ‘gosh, I’m sorry’ here.

Jones doesn’t have the morality or character to drop out of this race, and his running mates... don’t have the courage to call on him to step away from this campaign in disgrace.

This morning, the Trump Administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will.

They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance -- not a serious effort to protect public safety.

I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the State of Illinois.

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people's ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump's acts of aggression against our people.

In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Secretary Noem should no longer be able to step foot inside the State of Illinois without any form of public accountability.

For Donald Trump, this has never been about safety. This is about control.
