The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, said today that the state would use every lever at its disposal to fight President Trump’s deployment of troops to the Chicago area. Pritzker attacked the president’s move as an “unconstitutional invasion of Illinois.” About 200 Texas National Guard solders were already on their way to Chicago.

The State of Illinois sued Trump, but in a court hearing this afternoon, a federal judge declined to issue an immediate order blocking the deployment. The judge, a Biden appointee, said she needed time to review the case. She set another hearing for Thursday.

During the hearing, a lawyer for the federal government said the Texas National Guard troops were not expected to be deployed in Illinois until Tuesday or Wednesday. The judge pressed Trump administration lawyers for more information, and described herself as “very troubled by the lack of answers.”

The judge’s ruling, which allows Trump’s deployment to move ahead for now, came as officials in Oregon also intensified their efforts to block the president from sending National Guard troops into the state. Last night, a different federal judge blocked Trump from sending Guard members from any state to Oregon.

In comments to reporters this afternoon, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would grant him emergency powers to bypass the courts and deploy troops. “If I had to enact it, I’d do that if people were being killed and courts were holding us up,” Trump said.

In Oregon: Trump said Portland is ‘burning.’ Here’s the reality.

In Illinois: Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, said he would establish “ICE-free zones” to prevent federal agents from staging operations without a warrant.
