Illinois and Chicago filed a lawsuit<\/a> Monday aiming to stop President Donald Trump\u2019s administration from sending hundreds of National Guard troops to the city, just as troops prepared to deploy and hours after a federal judge blocked troops from being sent to Portland, Oregon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The quickly unfolding developments come as the administration portrays the Democrat-led cities as war-ravaged and lawless and amid Trump\u2019s crackdown on illegal immigration. Officials in both cities have disputed the president\u2019s characterizations, saying military intervention isn\u2019t needed and it\u2019s federal involvement that\u2019s inflaming the situation.<\/p>\n

The legal challenge comes after Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker said some 300 of the state\u2019s guard troops were to be federalized and deployed<\/a> to the nation\u2019s third-largest city, along with 400 others from Texas.<\/p>\n
