Appeals Court Ruling on National Guard Deployment
The Trump administration has faced another legal setback with a ruling forbidding the deployment of National Guard troops on Chicago's streets.
A lawsuit filed by state and local officials on Monday alleged that the federal attempt to deploy troops in Illinois 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 "Operation Midway Blitz," which has 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.
