Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is calling on Trump administration officials and former Department of Homeland Security leaders to testify before a commission he created investigating an alleged ICE crackdown, but the White House has blasted this move as 'a political stunt'. The commission's creation comes amid calls for accountability over immigration policies implemented during the Trump era. Several high-ranking officials from the Trump administration are expected to be called to testify, including those from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Pritzker's push for testimony is seen as an attempt to uncover more information about the alleged ICE crackdown.
