US EditionAbbott Sending 400 Texas National Guard Members to Chicago
Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized 400 National Guard troops to support federal immigration agents amid protests, with Illinois and Oregon filing lawsuits to block deployments.
- On Monday, state officials and leaders from Chicago jointly filed a federal lawsuit seeking to prevent Texas National Guard troops from being sent to Illinois.
- The legal action came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott approved President Trump’s request to deploy 400 Texas National Guard troops to assist federal authorities, following a series of attacks targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement locations around the country.
- Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and other state officials criticized the move as an unlawful and dangerous overreach by the federal government, arguing they were not consulted.
- Pritzker denounced the deployment, labeling it an invasion and attributing responsibility to Trump, while Abbott stated he had completely authorized sending the troops.
- The continuing lawsuits and court orders reflect a broader legal conflict over states' rights and federal authority similar to disputes seen during past national crises.
