Trump keeps 300 Illinois Guard troops federally activated past 60 days without missions, sparking legal and financial backlash.
President Trump extended the federal activation of 300 Illinois National Guard troops beyond 60 days, keeping them under federal control at a training site in Marseilles despite no active missions.
Governor J.B. Pritzker called the move unconstitutional and politicized, as the troops have not patrolled or protected federal assets.
The federal government cited protection of federal personnel in Chicago, though a judge previously ruled a similar deployment in Los Angeles exceeded executive authority.
The deployment, costing an estimated $12–19 million, has drawn criticism over its justification and expense, with lawmakers demanding accountability.
The troops remain under federal command until at least late December.
