US EditionSan Francisco Urges Supreme Court to Halt Troop Deployment to Chicago, Other Cities
- On Monday, the State of Illinois and the city of Chicago asked the U.S. Supreme Court to deny the Trump administration's request to deploy troops and urged preserving the deployment block.
- A federal judge blocked the deployment earlier this month after Illinois and Chicago sued, while President Donald Trump federalized around 300 Illinois National Guard members and sent about 400 Texas National Guard members to the Chicago area.
- Lawyers for the city of Chicago and the State of Illinois argued state and local law enforcement officers handled protests without credible evidence to the contrary and said opposing arguments rest on `mischaracterizations`.
- With the temporary restraining order set to expire in three days, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul urged the court to uphold lower courts' rulings, while the Trump administration agreed to extend the block as the Supreme Court reviews the case.
- Constitutional claims about the militia feature prominently in the state's brief, arguing the Framers limited federal militia use, while a Tuesday filing by the Trump administration asked the lower court to await the Supreme Court's decision.
