Gov. JB Pritzker pointed to the 1878 federal law known as the Posse Comitatus Act, which essentially prohibits the federal government from using military personnel to enforce domestic policy or participate in civilian law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by law. “I talked about the fact that the Nazis in Germany in the `30’s tore down a constitutional republic in just 53 days,” the governor said, reiterating the comparison he made in his budget address. “It does not take much, frankly, and we have a president who seems hell-bent on doing just that.”
