Illinois Gov Pritzker Criticizes DHS Secretary Noem Over Halloween Raid Tactics in Chicago

Eric Trump and his family used Halloween costumes as a political statement, with Eric dressed as a king and his wife Lara referencing the 'No Kings' protests against President Donald Trump's policies. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker mocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for her aggressive immigration enforcement tactics during Halloween, highlighting an incident where Border Patrol agents deployed tear gas at a children's parade in Chicago. Noem rejected Pritzker's request to pause immigration raids over Halloween, insisting on continuing operations despite criticism. California Governor Gavin Newsom also joined in the Halloween political commentary by sharing satirical costume kits mocking members of the Trump administration, including Noem, referencing her controversial actions and public image. The ongoing tensions reflect deep partisan conflicts over immigration enforcement and political symbolism surrounding the Trump administration and its officials.
