The state of Illinois has filed a cause on Monday to prevent the president of the United States Donald Trump from sending hundreds of soldiers of the Federalized National Guard in the streets of Chicago, the last point of tension in an increasing number of judicial battles on the authority of the Republican President to send military forces internally.
The state led by the Democrats and the city of Chicago presented the action hours after a federal judge of Oregon temporarily blocked on Sunday, the Trump administration for sending troops of the National Guard to the Portland Police in Oregon.
Chicago’s action is the fourth legal action aimed at unprecedented use of Trump soldiers to polish the US cities, repress protests and strengthen the supervision of national immigration. The courts have not yet made a final decision in any of these cases, but the judges of California and Oregon made initial decisions that Trump probably extrapolated their authority.
The cause of the Illinois was targeted by the decision of the Trump government during the weekend to federalize up to 300 members of the National Guard of the Illinois, despite the objects of the democratic governor JB Pritzker and 400 Texas to be sent to Chicago.
“These progress in the” war “have long declared by President Trump against Chicago and Illinois are illegal and dangerous,” said the action.
The republican president is sending soldiers to Illinois on the basis of a “fragile pretext” which states that the installation of immigration and customs in a suburb of Chicago must be protected, since protests are continuing outside the building on the repression of Trump’s immigration, according to the complaint.
The state argues that the Trump government has not respected the legal conditions necessary to allow the federalization of the National Guard troops without the approval of Pitzker and is violating the law of possession of combo, a federal law that dramatically limits the use of the military for the application of the national law.
The cause also maintains that Trump’s actions violate the tenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which protects state rights, usurping the role of Pitzker as commander of the National Guard in Illinois and breaking the state authority on the application of the local law.
The White House said that the troops were necessary to protect federal government officials from “violent disorders” in Chicago.
“President Trump will not close his eyes by illegality,” said the spokesman for the White House Abigail Jackson.
Illinois contested the description of the city of Trump, saying in the action that “the protests were small, especially peaceful and, unfortunately, increased due to the conduct of the DHS (Department of Internal Security)”.
Action increases judicial control over the use of troops by Trump
The President of the United States has expanded the use of the military in his second term, including the sending of troops along the United States border and the order to kill suspicious drug trafficking in Venezuela without the right law process.
He ordered the sending of troops of the National Guard to Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and Washington, causing legal causes and local leaders.
The troops of the National Guard are militia forces based on the state that respond to their governors, except when convened in the federal service.
The judges of California and Oregon established that Trump violated the law by taking control of the national guard in these states and using California troops as a police force.
These decisions are attractive and a superior court has allowed Trump to maintain control of the California National Guard while the legal battle continues. A judge of Washington has not yet commented on the legality of sending troops in the capital of the country.
Trump said he would send troops to other cities led by Democrats, including Baltimore, New York and Oakland. Democratic leaders of these cities have said that the sending of troops is a tool of political intimidation, while Trump has argued that protests against high crime and immigration require a national response.
