Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is considering a boycott against El Salvador in response to President Nayib Bukele's cooperation with the Trump administration, which allegedly violated the due process rights of a deported Maryland resident. To exert pressure on El Salvador, Pritzker has directed state pension funds and procurement agencies to identify and potentially divest from any investments or contracts with the country. This action reflects a broader trend of state-level involvement in foreign policy, particularly concerning human rights issues, and highlights the complexities of international relations influenced by domestic politics.
