The call never came. Instead, #Hegseth was trying to beat a simultaneous pushup record during a Navy & Air Force football game. A day later, #JBPritzker announced that #Trump had ordered 400 members of the #Texas #NationalGuard to deploy into #Illinois, #Oregon & elsewhere. He also said that 300 Illinois National Guard troops were being #federalized against his “vigorous objections.”

As Gov #JBPritzker awaited word from the #Trump admin about the deployment of the #NationalGuard in #Illinois, he cleared his calendar on Saturday for an anticipated call from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth.

Trump’s bid to deploy the #military on #US soil over local opposition has triggered a conflict with #BlueState governors. In #Oregon, a judge over the weekend blocked the Guard’s deployment to #Portland.
The #Trump admin has portrayed the cities as war-ravaged & lawless amid its crackdown on illegal #immigration. Officials in #Illinois & Oregon, however, say military intervention isn’t needed & that federal involvement is inflaming the situation.

And the #Marines were held in reserve on several occasions: after #MLK won his battle against Bull Connor in the 1963 #Birmingham, #Alabama, campaign for #desegregation of downtown stores, during which firebombings of a #CivilRights headquarters & King’s brother’s hotel room had sparked riots, & during the 1963 #MarchOnWashington.
