Illinois sues Trump administration over National Guard plan : NPR

Illinois and Chicago have filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the deployment of National Guard troops to the state. They seek to block the federalization of the Illinois National Guard and the deployment of troops from other states. The lawsuit argues the administration lacks justification for such actions, which local and state leaders condemn as an abuse of power. This move follows similar federal actions in Oregon, where a judge temporarily blocked the deployment of out-of-state National Guard members.
