The lawsuit comes one day after a federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the Republican president from sending soldiers to the state's biggest city, Portland, as part of his crackdown on crime and undocumented migrants. Trump over the weekend authorized the deployment of 700 National Guard soldiers to Chicago despite the opposition of elected Democratic leaders including the mayor and Governor JB Pritzker.
