Illinois to Receive Troops at Trump's Request
The Trump administration wants to send 100 military troops to Illinois.

The troops are meant to protect immigration officers and their facilities.
This follows a similar move in Portland, Oregon, where the president ordered troops to be sent.
Governor Pritzker opposes the move, calling it a chaotic action.
Illinois National Guard received notice of federal request for troops.
The Department of Homeland Security sent a memo to the Department of War.
100 military troops are requested.
The deployment's purpose is to protect ICE personnel and facilities.
Governor Pritzker has denounced the federal action.
