IL Gov. Pritzker is planning to obtain millions of masks and gloves from China and bring those supplies back to Illinois on charter jets — but he’s keeping the details secret out of fear the Trump admin might seize the cargo for the federal stockpilehttps://chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/2020/4/14/21221459/pritzker-secret-flights-china-illinois-ppe-trump-coronavirus?utm_campaign=chicago.suntimes&utm_content=entry&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter …
This article is very unclear what they mean by seizing. Do they mean their PPE was confiscated on arrival in the US? Or that there was PPE they hoped to buy, and weren't able to? Sounds more like the latter. E.g. that story at the end. 20k masks wouldn't be worth confiscating.

I read that. Notice they don't talk about a shipment actually being seized, just someone worrying, based on some rumors, that their shipment would be. Surely if actual seizures were happening, those would take precedence in the news over mere fears of seizures.
