Overview

• National Guard officials said about 200 soldiers from Texas and 300 from Illinois have gathered in the Chicago area to protect federal personnel, including ICE agents, and federal property.
• Texas Guard troops federalized by the White House are drilling at the U.S. Army Reserve Training Center in Elwood, a site expected to house up to roughly 250 members.
• Protests continued with a large downtown march, while the Broadview ICE facility saw a calm night as local police enforced a curfew and no Guard units were posted at the site.
• President Trump urged the jailing of Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor JB Pritzker over what he called failures to protect federal officers, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem backed prosecuting officials who permit threats to federal personnel.
• Illinois is seeking a temporary court order to halt the deployment, with a federal hearing set for Thursday, as separate appellate arguments proceed over earlier limits on troop use and a judge faulted ICE for violating a 2022 arrest agreement in the Midwest.
