National guard remains in Chicago area as judge to rule on Trump deployment

President attacks Chicago mayor and Illinois governor as extra troops at army training site south-west of city

Hundreds of national guard troops remained in the Chicago area as city and Illinois officials awaited a judge's decision to stop Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the nation's third-largest city.

It was still unclear where specifically the Trump administration would send the troops who reported to an army training site south-west of Chicago, which was laden with extra fencing and tarps put up to block the public's view of the facility late on Wednesday evening.
