Trump Sued—Again—for Unlawful and Unconstitutional Deployment of National Guard

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth federalized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard on Saturday and an additional 400 troops from the state of Texas on Sunday. Both deployments are believed to be going to Chicago and are opposed by Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
