Out-Of-State Texas National Guard Deployed To Secure Chicago ICE Facility Amid Insurrection Act Threats

Texas National Guard troops were sent to secure ICE’s Broadview processing center near Chicago after units were seen staging at a nearby Army Reserve site. The move follows clashes at the facility and comes amid President Trump’s public threats to invoke the Insurrection Act, prompting sharp backlash and a lawsuit from Illinois and Chicago leaders to block the deployment. The action marks a visible escalation in federal immigration enforcement in a major Democratic-led city.
