Court to Decide Fate of National Guard Troops Amid Chicago Immigration Tensions

Tensions rise in Chicago as President Trump deploys the National Guard amidst aggressive immigration enforcement, leading to a federal courts decision on the legality of the troops presence in Illinois.

• President Trump has sent the National Guard (United States) to Illinois to assist with immigration enforcement, amid a backdrop of increased arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
• Protests have erupted in Chicago against the surge in immigration arrests, with demonstrators clashing with federal agents in response to the aggressive actions taken by the Trump administration.
• A federal judge will hear arguments on Thursday regarding the legality of the National Guards deployment, which Illinois officials argue violates state sovereignty, amid tensions with the Democratic Party (United States).
