The instant boots touch the ground they are in violation of posse comitatus.
Arrest them all for treason and treat them as traitors were treated when it fucking meant something.

Kudos to Gov Pritzker.
Pritzker should dispatch Illinois National Guard to shadow each out-of-state Guard member, 1:1, all with body cams streaming online
Wonder if after a few transgressions he can declare them a terrorist organization.
Open carry is illegal in IL.
“911? There’s people walking around with rifles.”
Masked people.
911 every time.
When the tit for tat gets up & going, someone please do something a little more proactive than saying you aren’t welcome here and we are going to use the system you won’t recognize against you. Glad I brought some heavy duty summer fold out chairs. Let’s see what September brings. I miss the days when we despised people for their College & NFL preferences come football time.
Yeah this reeks of "we're gonna keep a list of all the things you fascists break while you're invading us"
ooook well that's scary, anything but paperwork
Believe me you, I am not happy about said occupation. I’m just not happy with the “We’re not on board with this” group. I wanna be part of the plan. I don’t live in Chicago. That isn’t important. Or else we’re gonna do it,,,,, wait a second. Hang on a moment. I dunno what we were talking about but yeah hopefully none of that bullshit is around any of ya’s. However, if need B. Slice, twist, shake & muddle. You know what to do.
Good. If we cannot get the felon in chief, let's start going after those that are carrying out his criminal activities.
They should start with whoever gave the order to murder 11 people off the coast of Venezuela. And then work their way down to everyone who chose to follow that order.
I don't think that's a state-level crime.
Yea, that was a war crime.
Is it a war crime? There's no declared war. I think it's just a regular murder in international waters. I think the boat was registered in Venezuela so they should bring charges against Trump and whoever fired the shot/missile that did it.
When a murder occurs on the high seas, the primary basis for legal authority is “flag state jurisdiction.” Under international law, a ship is governed by the laws of the country where it is registered, known as the flag state. Article 92 of UNCLOS establishes that a ship on the high seas is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of its flag state. The vessel is treated as a piece of that nation’s territory.
Other legal principles can create overlapping jurisdictional claims. The “nationality principle” allows the country of which the alleged perpetrator is a citizen to assert jurisdiction, regardless of where the crime took place. This means a country may have laws allowing it to prosecute its nationals for serious crimes committed abroad.
Another basis for jurisdiction is the “passive personality principle,” which allows the victim’s country of citizenship to claim the right to prosecute. This principle was asserted by the United States following the 1985 hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, where an American citizen was murdered. Even though the crime occurred on an Italian-flagged vessel, the U.S. asserted its right to prosecute the perpetrators.
War crimes also included deliberate attacks on citizens and property of neutral states, such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. As the attack on Pearl Harbor happened while the U.S. and Japan were at peace and without a just cause for self-defense, the attack was declared by the Tokyo Trials to go beyond justification of military necessity and therefore constituted a war crime.
Yeah it was a war crime. The US and Venezuela are at peace and there was no just cause for self defense.

Rubio will be the scapegoat for that one
This is exactly what they should do.
It is among the things they should do.
Do or do not. There is no "threaten".
They have to commit the crimes before you can arrest them. He's saying if you do get deployed in Chicago don't fuck around or we'll hold you accountable. Yeah, have to actually see follow through, but this is more of a warning shot
They should.
They threaten to apply the law that's supposed to be applied to everyone equally anyway?
I'm sure they're shaking in their boots, if that's a threat and not just... normality.
This is surely just a reminder that state law will still apply no matter what the orange idiot does. You can still use the reminder that normal laws will apply as a threat.
I get that things are concerning and stressful right now, but read the thing and think about it - they have to actually commit a criminal act to get arrested. He's trying to head them off from doing it before it happens. The governor of California didn't say something like this, but the governor of Illinois is saying it.
