Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has ordered a review of the state’s investments and business dealings with El Salvador, potentially leading to a boycott due to the country’s cooperation with the Trump administration in deporting criminal migrants. This action follows concerns over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 member, with Pritzker emphasizing the need to uphold constitutional rights amid perceived erosion under Trump. Pritzker’s directives include analyzing state contracts and trade relations with El Salvador while Democratic lawmakers seek to address Abrego Garcia’s situation, which has been complicated by legal and diplomatic challenges.
