The lawsuit seeks to block the White House from sending #Texas National Guard #troops to #Chicago. It came hours after a federal judge blocked deployments to #Portland, #Oregon.

Pritzker pointing out that ICE lies first and immediately, knowing journalists will catch up later if at all.
Coming from a sitting US governor, that’s an amazing breakthrough.

"Over the weekend I talked to a couple of people, people who generally try to keep abreast of the news, about the Chicago apartment raid last Tuesday — and discovered that they hadn’t heard about it. And that’s extremely worrying. It suggests that many people don’t realize how fast and aggressively the Trump administration is moving to end rule of law and convert America into a full-fledged autocracy."

#Protesters & #journalists in #Chicago are suing the #Trump admin over claims that federal agents’ tactics are part of an effort to “silence the #press & #civilians.”
There have been frequent #protests since the Trump admin brought its #immigration crackdown to the Chicago area. The most tense have been outside an #ICE facility, where immigration agents have used aggressive tactics, including physical force & chemical agents.

#Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson said the #Trump admin has not told him where the #NationalGuard is, when it may arrive in Chicago or what its task will be.
“None of that has been made clear,” Johnson said at a Tuesday news conference. “That is what is so difficult about this moment, you have an administration that is refusing to cooperate with a local authority.”
The City of Chicago & state of #Illinois sued Trump Monday, seeking to stop the sending of National Guard troops to Chicago.
'#NoKings' rallies across #Chicago
Thousands of people are expected to gather in Chicago & the suburbs Saturday for a “No Kings” protest amid ongoing federal #immigration *enforcement* [terrorist] operations in the area. The first “No Kings” protest in June drew roughly 15,000 people.

I finally have finished reading the 69 page complaint and multiple exhibits filed by the state of Illinois and City of Chicago against Trump, Noem, Hegseth etc., seeking to prohibit them deploying federalized National Guard troops in #Chicago. #Chicagoland #LawFedi https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487574/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487574.1.0_4.pdf 1/
#NationalGuard members from #Texas are illegally in #Illinois in Trump's latest move to send troops to cities
Guard members from Texas were at an Army training center in Illinois on Tuesday, the most visible sign yet of the #Trump admin’s plan to ignore the #law & send #troops to the #Chicago area despite a lawsuit & vigorous opposition from #city & #state elected leaders.

#Trump refuses to say whether he will invoke #InsurrectionAct
Asked whether he plans to invoke the Insurrection Act, Trump declined to say whether or not he would but says that it has been invoked before.
“Well, it’s been invoked before. As you know, if you look at Chicago, #Chicago is a great city where there’s a lot of crime, & if the governor can’t do the job, we’ll do the job,” he said

This is going on everywhere, not just #Chicago. #ICE is not welcome in most hotels or restaurants. They have to book under false pretenses at most hotels; then protesters find them and make noise outside until the hotel throws them out.
Nor do truck companies intentionally rent to them-- at the very least, they do not want anyone riding in cargo trailers for liability reasons! If you EVER see ICE in a rental truck/trailer, get the USDOT number of the rental and report them to the company.

#Trump on Wednesday called for jailing #Chicago's #mayor & the #governor of #Illinois, both #Democrats, as his administration prepared to deploy military troops to the streets of the third-largest US city.

"The president instructed federal agents to use extralegal violence against both immigrants and citizens in Chicago. When the citizenry of Chicago objected to these violent acts, the president used their First Amendment demonstrations of protest as pretext to deploy the Texas National Guard into the city, so that armed soldiers from Texas could impose the president’s will on the people of Illinois."

#NationalGuard deployments by the #Trump admin
#Chicago area: 500
About 300 #Illinois troops & 200 #Texas troops are expected on the streets soon.
#Portland, #Oregon: Currently None
Federal judge temporarily blocked deployment of #California troops staged near the city.
#WashingtonDC: 2,400
Deployed in August in what the admin called a *crime* fighting push.
#LosAngeles: 300
Peaked at 4,700 in June. Trump is appealing a ruling that the deployment was #illegal.
Lawyers for #CookCounty, #Illinois, which includes #Chicago, have filed a court brief supporting efforts to block the deployment of #NationalGuard troops, saying Trump’s action would “intrude on #state & local #sovereignty” & increase public fear. A hearing in that case is scheduled for tomorrow.

“Trump has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments.
This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.
The man who attempted a violent coup—who fomented an actual insurrection—will invent a fantasy insurrection to justify overturning the rule of law and deploying the U.S. military against civilians.” #Tesust #ICE #Chicago https://www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-triad-the-chicago-rubicon-and-what-comes-next?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker responds to #Trump threat to #jail him & #Chicago mayor over #ICE: 'Come & get me'
Speaking to reporters at a federal workers rally at Federal Plaza later Wednesday, Pritzker responded to Trump’s threat.
“Look, he’s a coward. He says a lot of things. He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come & get me,” Pritzker said.

Defense attorneys for the woman shot by #BorderPatrol in Brighton Park this month want a hearing ASAP after the agent who opened fire drove his vehicle to Maine before the woman’s attys could inspect it.
It’s not clear who allowed the #CBP agent to drive the vehicle to the East Coast. But defense wrote in a court filing that the “absurdity” of the decision became clear when attorneys visited an #FBI evidence garage to inspect the vehicles…

Sometimes anti-fascism looks like having tamales for lunch.

#Trump is calling off, at least for now, plans that would have surged federal agents into #SanFrancisco this weekend. Mayor Daniel Lurie said Trump & #DHS Secy #KristiNoem assured him in separate calls that #BorderPatrol agents would not be deployed to his city. Trump confirmed the decision in a social media post, writing that “friends of mine who live in the area” had asked him to reconsider.
WTF? Why do #Chicago & other cities have to endure his #assault?
