Illinois quick hits: Filings made to SCOTUS in National Guard case; Chicago sued DHS
Filings made to SCOTUS in National Guard case
Illinois asked the Supreme Court not to hear President Donald Trump’s request to deploy the National Guard to Chicago amid a disagreement about plans for immigration enforcement in the state’s most populous city.
Top attorneys for Illinois and Chicago said Trump has overstepped his authority.
America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit group, said Trump should control the orders.
The state of California and Maryland are just some of the friends of the court filing to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case challenging the Trump administration’s use of the National Guard in Illinois.
The Trump administration filed a motion with the court last week.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is putting his people in danger by not working with the federal government.
Chicago sues DHS
The city of Chicago and eight other local governments have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration over Department of Homeland Security grants.
Chicago Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry claimed the federal government cannot demand that cities dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in exchange for disaster relief.
A statement from Mayor Brandon Johnson said the lawsuit seeks to protect tens of millions of dollars in critical funding.
