The chief judge of the federal district court based in Chicago said Thursday that the National Guard has not been authorized or requested to secure the federal courthouse, as the Trump administration seeks to use the National Guard to protect federal property in the city.

Chief Judge Virginia Kendall of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois said the U.S. Marshals Service is the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction to protect the federal courthouse in Chicago, saying the Federal Protective Service does not have the primary responsibility of security for the courthouse, unlike most federal buildings.
