Abbott is using the Texas National Guard for yet another political stunt, but that isn't all he's doing. He's given them illegal orders to engage in law enforcement in another state, to support ICE that is engaged in illegal searches and seizures, violations of due process, using unneccessary force, in violaton of federal court orders to not deploy out of state National Guard troops into Democrat run cities. Every member of the Texas National Guard should resign as soon as possible to avoid being enmeshed in illegal deployments by a criminal governor.

We need Gina Hinojosa to declare her candidacy soon. We need a fighter.

Abbott didn't leap over the line but he did roll over it in his wanna-be 4-wheeled tank.

This is all so upsetting! The trump regime is breaking so many laws.

I love what Yankee said. “They should resign” so that when this is all over. They will not get away with “I was just obeying orders”. Because in 2025, they have been warned that this is illegal and unconstitutional. 🇺🇸 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Eva, Amen. These Texas Republicans sure have gotten fat and lazy over the years when no one challenged them. They are about to enter a new world of unintended consequences, in which not just Democrats, but West Texas Republicans, who care more about freedom and individual rights than anything else, cannot understand why the Governor would be sending Texans to Chicago to impose Trump's will on citizens of another state. Texans, including the Guard members, were not happy about sending the Texas Guard to our own Texas border, never mind Chicago.

I’m not happy at all with Abbott is just brown nosy trump. 🤬🤬🤬. He will see that trump doesn’t respect anyone. Especially those that bend the knee to him.

Our Texas troops should only be in Texas. 😢

Absolutely shocking. Nothing less than an armed invasion. Illinois has a national guard. There is no rational justification for this. I just hope he’ll be held accountable one day for this act of aggression. It’s totally lawless.

Throwing your lot in with Trump is not a good bet. Ask Rudi Giuliani how it worked out for him. Trump can cause a lot of damage, but in the end, a large majority of Americans will not stand for this. We’ll do whatever it takes to reverse all of this.
