JB Pritzker on “Operation Midway Blitz” and what he calls Trump’s “racist ends” | Morning Edition [mEUxXhNdImO]
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker spoke with NPR’s Morning Edition about “Operation Midway Blitz,” President Trump’s plan to surge hundreds of federal agents into Chicago in order to find and arrest undocumented immigrants. In a wide-ranging interview at the National Museum of Mexican Art, a Chicago institution connected with the city's substantial Latino population, Pritzker told NPR’s Steve Inskeep that the President has conflated immigration and crime for “racist ends,” saying Trump “wants people to think that every person that’s here that’s not born in the United States is a criminal.” ------------------------------------------------------ Follow NPR elsewhere, too: • Instagram: • TikTok: • Facebook:
