"We believe in the federalist system that's states' rights,"
"Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration."
"Abbott and I sued the Biden administration when the shoe was on the other foot and the Biden administration was trying to force us to vaccinate all of our soldiers and force masks across the country."
"As a federalist believer, one governor against another governor, I don't think that's the right way to approach this."
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt criticized the decision to deploy the Texas National Guard to Illinois, saying the move undermines the federalist system and states' rights. Governor Greg Abbott volunteered Texas Guard troops to Chicago to support efforts framed as fighting crime; Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and other state officials are challenging the deployment in court. Stitt expressed surprise at the interstate deployment while affirming support for efforts to reduce crime and illegal immigration. He cited past legal action with Abbott against the Biden administration over soldier vaccination and mask policies. Governors in Illinois and California have contemplated leaving the National Governors Association if it remains silent.
