Illinois and Chicago sue to block Trump administration's National Guard plan

Illinois officials have taken legal action to prevent President Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Chicago as part of an immigration crackdown. This move escalates tensions between Democratic states and the Republican administration. Governor Pritzker called the federal action an "invasion," while the White House cited "violent riots and lawlessness." Chicago's mayor also issued an executive order restricting federal immigration agents' use of city property. Meanwhile, a judge blocked similar deployments in Portland, Oregon, questioning the administration's repeated attempts to circumvent court orders.
