President Trump's attempts to deploy the National Guard to various cities face legal challenges. He's publicly pressured Illinois Governor Pritzker to request troops, while also suggesting sending them to New Orleans, where the governor welcomed the idea. A recent court ruling deemed Trump's June deployment in California illegal. Legal experts argue that while governors can request federal aid, Trump's actions without such requests are legally questionable and could lead to a Supreme Court case, especially if he deploys troops from one state to another against the receiving state's will.
