"On Monday, the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to the state arguing that the administration has exceeded its authority under Title 10, the statute which allows the president to bring the Guard into federal service. Legal experts say Trump is testing the limits of presidential authority by using the rarely used statute to deploy federal troops to American cities without state approval."
"Title 32 which is how the Guard is being deployed in Memphis is when troops are under state command but federally funded. Then, there's Title 10, which is when Guard members are both federally controlled and funded. According to the provision, the president can deploy the Guard into federal service when the county is under an invasion, a rebellion or danger of rebellion, or the president is unable with the "regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.""
President Donald Trump is pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities such as Portland and Chicago, citing rampant crime and illegal immigration. Illinois and Chicago filed a lawsuit arguing the administration exceeded its authority under Title 10. Legal experts say the administration is testing presidential authority by using Title 10 to federalize the Guard without state approval. Federal courts have issued mixed rulings: Oregon and Portland delayed deployments, while an Illinois judge refused an immediate block. The Guard operates under state active duty, Title 32, or Title 10, with Title 10 allowing federal control when invasion, rebellion, or inability of regular forces occurs.
