Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to hold a public conference on Friday during her visit to his state, as he accused federal agents of spreading fear and violating rights during immigration enforcement operations.

“Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities,” he said.
