Trump federalized 300 Illinois Guard troops to Chicago after Border Patrol shot a U.S. citizen; Pritzker called it an overreach.
President Donald Trump authorized the federalization of 300 Illinois National Guard members for Chicago following a violent clash between federal agents and protesters near an immigration facility, where a U.S. citizen was shot after allegedly ramming agents with a vehicle armed with a semi-automatic weapon.
The Department of Homeland Security cited threats to federal assets and intelligence of planned protests, but Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker condemned the move as un-American and an overreach, asserting it undermines state authority.
Similar deployments in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Memphis have sparked legal challenges, with a federal judge previously blocking a Portland deployment, ruling the situation did not justify military intervention.
The Chicago deployment remains in effect despite ongoing disputes over federal-state jurisdiction, use of force, and civil liberties.
