Both governors criticized the NGA for remaining silent on what they see as a violation of state sovereignty, as the deployments occurred over the objections of the governors of those states. Newsom highlighted the federalization of the California National Guard to Portland amid legal challenges, while pritzker condemned the deployment of Texas National Guard troops to Chicago as unconstitutional. Illinois and Chicago also filed a lawsuit to stop these troop deployments. Unlike the NGA, the Democratic Governors Association openly denounced the Trump governance&#8217;s actions. Newsom and Pritzker, both <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >considered potential 2028 presidential candidates<\/a>, continue to actively oppose Trump&#8217;s policies regarding state control of National Guard forces. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Newsom and Pritzker threaten to leave bipartisan group silent on troop deployments<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2365883\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Govs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jb-pritzker-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JB Pritzker<\/a> (D-IL) threatened to pull their states out of the National Governors Association on Monday if the bipartisan group does not take a stand on President Donald Trump&rsquo;s deployment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/national-guard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Guard<\/a> to Chicago and Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom and Pritzker made their feelings about the recent troop deployments apparent in separate letters to the NGA.
