National guard troops from Texas are heading to Illinois after a federal judge declined to immediately block them after a lawsuit from the state against the Trump administration.

Texas guard members departed the Fort Bliss military installation in El Paso on a US military transport plane on Monday evening.

The US district judge April Perry allowed the federal government to continue the deployment in Chicago while it responds to Illinois’s suit. She set a deadline of midnight on Wednesday for the government to reply. A similar effort to deploy troops to Portland was blocked by a judge in Oregon.

Donald Trump is also seeking to federalize the Illinois national guard, which would involve moving them from state to federal jurisdiction.

These are unprecedented times. Deploy the IL NG and ignore any orders to federalize them.

The U.S. government using the military to invade a U.S. state.

That's treason.

Try and execute him, as well as any who follow these illegal orders.

So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

Houston Intercontinental Airport, this week.

Texas is doubling down on stupid.

They need to be reminded of that the next time their power grid shits itself and they want another bailout.

I saw some dumbfuck wearing a "Make America Tennessee" t-shirt on some Youtube - I think it was some left-wing guy debating a bunch of Taco fans.

I mean....just WTAF. If I had to pick a state to fashion all of America after, it'd be California. Tennessee? I mean....JFC.

Wouldn't be the first time

Pritzker needs to deploy the state guard to police ICE. Resisting federal overreach is exactly why they were created.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This really is the clear solution. The consequences of it though could be dire.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

The situation is dire either way.

I read about this a little because I was wondering why there was a decline/delay to block. Apparently Ms Perry is trying to ascertain if the guard is actually being mobilized at all. The government is being uncooperative and not answering her questions so it’s unclear if this is actually happening or not. If it does, and the government hasn’t/doesn’t respond to her then it should be a very easy ruling to make. Even still, it seems she also agrees that sending them, in general, is stupid and unnecessary.

I think she doesn’t want to prematurely make a ruling until we have confirmation either because they just show up or the government actually answers her.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If she blocks them from going and they weren't going, what was the harm?

Seems like a stupid detail to delay a decision on. The whole point of injunctions is to prevent the bad shit from happening. If it wasn't going to happen anyway, it's not like the words were such a valuable resources that got wasted making sure

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 31 points 1 day ago

It's because some people are still playing by a rulebook that's burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with "what's proper".

In other words, "because she's living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look"

Just disgusting behavior.
