Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has been aggressively challenging the Trump administration, signing laws to limit ICE operations and suing the federal government, according to Vox. This comes as President Trump faces other challenges, including a failed prosecution of six Democrats and ongoing military campaigns, as reported by Vox and MIT Technology Review.
Pritzker's actions include creating the Illinois Accountability Commission, staffed by retired federal judges, to oversee immigration-related matters. He has also successfully blocked the deployment of federal agents within the state. "Few Democratic politicians have leaned into the fight against the Trump administration as aggressively as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker," according to Astead Herndon, a host and editorial director at Vox.
Meanwhile, President Trump's administration has faced setbacks. A year into his second presidency, Trump has yet to achieve his goals, according to Eric Levitz, a senior correspondent at Vox. The president also lost a battle in his war on democracy, as reported by Vox.
Trump's administration has also been engaged in military actions. The most extensive military campaign of Trump's second term has been in Somalia, where the US conducted more than 100 bombings last year, according to Joshua Keating of Vox.
In other news, Jim O'Neill, the US Deputy Health Secretary, is departing from his roles within the Department of Health and Human Services, according to MIT Technology Review. O'Neill, known for his focus on longevity and controversial views on vaccine recommendations, oversaw a department with a vast budget.
