Trump Administration Suffers Legal Loss Over National Guard Deployment
The Trump administration has faced another legal setback in its attempt to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois.
On Saturday, a ruling was made that forbids the White House from using troops in the state. This decision comes after state and local officials filed a lawsuit on Monday, alleging that the move to deploy troops was "unlawful and dangerous".
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had planned to deploy the troops to support Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their "Operation Midway Blitz" effort, which has reportedly led to over 1,000 arrests.
The move was deemed "unlawful and dangerous" by state and local officials.
The ruling is the latest in a series of legal losses for the Trump administration.
