Illinois sues the Trump administration over National Guard deployment to Chicago
Illinois challenges the federal government’s authority, citing constitutional violations and political retaliation, to prevent deployment of 700 federalized National Guard troops in Chicago.
- Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul filed a lawsuit against U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the deployment of 400 National Guard troops in Chicago, citing the action as 'patently unlawful' and unconstitutional.
- The lawsuit claims that the deployment is unlawful, supported by statements from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who expressed that the American people should not live under military occupation due to political disagreements.
- The lawsuit was prompted by protests against immigration raids and an incident where Border Patrol agents injured a U.S. citizen in Chicago.
- A federal judge temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon, following similar objections from state officials.
