On Monday, Illinois and several major cities across the nation filed a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump. The lawsuit seeks to halt the deployment of federalized National Guard troops to Chicago. The troops are being sent from Texas to support law enforcement efforts within the city. The lawsuit centers on potential legal challenges to the deployment, with Illinois arguing it violates existing court orders regarding military force deployment. The legal battle involves the potential invocation of the Insurrection Act, a provision allowing for military action in specific circumstances. The lawsuit is currently pending in court.
