CHICAGO \u2014 State and city attorneys urged the U.S. Supreme Court Monday to block the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cdramatic step\u201d to send the National Guard to Chicago over the objection of local officials. <\/p>\n
The 46-page response is the first since the Trump administration appealed a judge\u2019s temporary restraining order on the deployment to the nation\u2019s higher court last week,<\/a> setting the stage for a potential watershed ruling on the reaches of presidential power.<\/p>\n Hundreds of National Guard troops remain at a base in the suburbs<\/a> after Trump attempted to send them here to protect an ICE processing facility<\/a> in Broadview that has routinely drawn protesters<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the district court found, state and local law enforcement officers have handled isolated protest activities in Illinois, and there is no credible evidence to the contrary,\u201d the response reads, arguing that there is \u201cno rebellion or danger of rebellion\u201d giving Trump grounds to federalize the National Guard. <\/p>\n
