Illinois Governor JB Pritzker appealed to Trump administration officials overseeing federal immigration operations in Chicago, asking them to pause their activities to give children and families “a break” to celebrate Halloween.
Pritzker, who has been consistently pushing back against the administration’s federal presence in Illinois, told reporters that he has asked Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security to “pause all of their federal agents’ operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend.”
