A judge is deciding if Trump’s 2020 federal deployment of 500 National Guard troops to Chicago without state consent was legal.
A federal judge in Chicago is hearing arguments over the legality of President Trump’s 2020 deployment of about 500 National Guard troops to the city under federal authority, without state consent.
The troops were sent to protect federal facilities, including an ICE building in Broadview, amid protests following George Floyd’s death.
Illinois and Chicago officials argue the move exceeded federal power, is politically motivated, and undermines state authority, citing low crime rates and peaceful protests.
The Justice Department defends the deployment as necessary due to threats against federal agents, including a recent incident where a Border Patrol agent shot a woman.
The case, part of a broader legal challenge to federal military use in domestic settings, could set a precedent on the balance of power between federal and state governments during emergencies.
