Federal Judge Suspends Chicago Guard Deployment After Troops Mobilize

The ruling pauses the administration’s plan to use federalized Guard units to shield ICE operations during escalating court fights.

Trump pide encarcelar a alcalde y gobernador de Illinois por oponerse a tropas federales y operaciones antimigrantes

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge April M. Perry issued a temporary order halting the Chicago deployment, a setback for the Trump administration’s plan to back ICE with National Guard support.
  • Before the suspension, U.S. Northern Command said 300 Illinois Guard members and about 200 from Texas were activated under Title 10 and staged near ICE facilities.
  • Illinois and the City of Chicago sued to block the deployment as unconstitutional overreach, arguing the president is using troops to punish political opponents.
  • President Donald Trump publicly called for Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor J.B. Pritzker to be jailed for allegedly failing to protect ICE agents and said he could invoke the Insurrection Act if courts or states stand in the way.
  • Large protests in downtown Chicago, including marches that closed stretches of Michigan Avenue, continued as a separate Portland case heads through the Ninth Circuit after Judge Karin Immergut blocked Guard deployments in Oregon.
