Illinois Officials and Trump Clash Over National Guard Deployment Amid Chicago Violence
TL;DR Summary
A retired Illinois National Guard general states that if President Trump deploys troops to Chicago, their role would be limited to protecting federal property and not law enforcement, due to legal restrictions like the Posse Comitatus Act. The deployment is controversial, with Illinois Governor Pritzker opposing it and asserting legal challenges, while Trump claims he has the authority to send troops regardless of state opposition.
