Illinois and Chicago sue to block 'patently unlawful' military troop deployment nationwide
Illinois and Chicago have filed a lawsuit to block President Biden's Trump administration troop deployment, citing it as 'patently unlawful'. The move comes after a federal judge in Oregon blocked a similar deployment by the Trump administration just days earlier.
Illinois and Chicago officials have sued the federal government to block a planned troop deployment, calling it 'patently unlawful' following a similar decision by a federal judge in Oregon that halted a Trump administration deployment to that state. The move comes after a US District Court judge in Portland, Oregon, blocked the deployment of approximately 400 National Guard troops to several counties amid concerns over potential election interference and public safety risks. Illinois officials have asked for a preliminary injunction to halt the planned deployment of troops into their state.
