Immigration officers have conducted a large-scale operation around Chicago for weeks, arresting hundreds of individuals. Protests have erupted, occasionally clashing with federal agents. Recently, President Trump deployed National Guard troops to Illinois and suggested top state Democrats should be jailed.

On Thursday, a federal judge will hear arguments on whether to block the Guard’s deployment, which Illinois officials argue violates state sovereignty. The Trump administration defends the move as necessary for public safety.

Judge April M. Perry, who heard initial arguments on Monday, did not issue a ruling but noted the ongoing mobilization of National Guard troops. The case follows similar actions in California and Oregon, where the courts have intervened.

The Illinois deployment has drawn criticism from Gov. JB Pritzker, who calls it an “invasion,” and Mayor Brandon Johnson, who accuses Trump of sowing fear. The Trump administration claims the deployment is constitutional, citing unrest and protests in the state.
