"At a press conference Monday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker lambasted the Trump administration for what he called an unconstitutional invasion of Chicago and other cities, accusing the president of using our service members as political props and pawns in his illegal effort to militarize our nation's cities. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has been similarly outspoken about the deployment of federal agents and the military in the city."
The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block deployment of federal officers and challenge a purported renaming of the Department of Defense as legally invalid. The complaint names President Donald Trump and multiple federal agencies and officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem, the Department of Defense, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The filing objects to federalization of the Illinois National Guard and the deployment of Texas National Guard troops to Illinois over the governor's objections. The complaint argues against militarizing cities and asserts citizens should not face occupation by the U.S. military.
