Illinois and Chicago sued the Trump administration to block its move to send National Guard troops to the city.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, accuses the executive branch of federal overreach. It comes just two days after the White House said President Donald Trump approved the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago to “protect federal officers and assets,” which was done against the wishes of Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL).
