After Donald Trump was elected to a second term, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker issued a warning to Trump and his minions against compromising the "freedom" and "dignity" of his citizens.

After Donald Trump was elected to a second term, Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker issued a warning to him and his supporters against compromising the "freedom" and "dignity" of his citizens.

Trump has famously pledged to round up millions of immigrants for mass detention and deportation, and Democratic governors like Pritzker are not having it.


In response to Trump's election, Pritzker issued the following message on X, formerly Twitter:

"To anyone who intends to come take away the freedom, opportunity, and dignity of Illinoisans, I would remind you that a happy warrior is still a warrior."
"You come for my people – you come through me."

You can see his post below.

Many appreciated his words.



In remarks to reporters, Pritzker said his administration “was not unprepared” for a Trump win.

Pritzker stated that his administration, in collaboration with the Democratic-led General Assembly, has taken “proactive steps” to strengthen abortion rights and other legislation that could come under scrutiny under a Trump presidency. He added that Illinois would respond if the Trump administration attempted to redirect government grants designated for the state. Pritzker mentioned having similar discussions with other Democratic governors across the nation.

He said the governors to whom he's spoken are on the same page "about protecting certain rights and making sure that we're going to be able to withstand four years of a Donald Trump presidency and also the areas where we might work with the administration, whatever those may be."

Pritzker, who is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate, emphasized that Americans should prioritize “a peaceful transition of power, even if Donald Trump didn’t grant that to his successor.”

Pritzker stated that his administration, alongside the Democratic-led General Assembly, has taken “proactive steps” to strengthen abortion rights and other laws that might face challenges under a Trump White House.

He added that Illinois would respond if the Trump administration attempted to redirect federal grants intended for the state. He noted he has had similar discussions with other Democratic governors about this as well.
