The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago sued the Trump administration, arguing there was no justification for sending the National Guard, viewing it as a political move by President Trump to portray Democrat-led cities as out of control.

The governor of Illinois is alleging an unconstitutional invasion by the federal government as President Trump considers invoking the Insurrection Act to justify the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago.

500 National Guard members are currently in Chicago despite a lawsuit challenging their deployment.

The National Guard is training in Oregon for deployment to protect ICE officials and property in Portland, despite local opposition.

A federal judge has allowed the Trump administration to send the National Guard to Chicago temporarily. This decision is part of a larger plan by the administration to consolidate power amid chaos.

Federal Guard troops arriving in Chicago might inflame tensions further as ICE and Border Patrol agents have already clashed with residents.

The Trump administration claims that the National Guard is needed in Chicago to support ICE agents and protect ICE facilities, as part of Operation Midway Blitz targeting illegal immigration.

The National Guard has deployed troops into Chicago to protect ICE agents amid protests following ICE raids. Operation Midway Blitz has resulted in 800 arrests, including a notable raid on September 30th in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood.

The Trump administration's immigration crackdown is escalating, with National Guard deployments causing tension in cities like Chicago and Portland.

Historically, presidents like Eisenhower and JFK have sent federal troops to enforce laws, such as desegregation in the South. The current deployment of National Guardsmen to support ICE in Chicago is seen as a continuation of this authority.
