The Trump administration has deployed 14 California National Guard soldiers to Illinois for training troops from other states, according to a motion filed by California in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. This deployment occurs amid an ongoing legal dispute between California and the federal government regarding control over state military forces. California officials are challenging what they describe as federal overreach in the deployment of their National Guard units.
