US EditionTrump administration to federalize 300 Illinois National Guard members, Gov. Pritzker says
- On Monday, Illinois and Chicago filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois, describing the move as unconstitutional and dangerous.
- This legal action arose after tensions escalated over the White House’s directive or threats to send the National Guard into multiple cities governed by Democrats—moves that Illinois officials maintained were driven by political motives.
- Attorney General Kwame Raoul and Governor J.B. Pritzker, joined by other officials, announced the complaint at a downtown Chicago press conference, naming Trump and multiple federal officials as defendants.

- The federal government must file its response to the lawsuit by midnight on Wednesday, and on Monday, the judge declined to grant an immediate temporary restraining order.
