Former governors join case against Trump
Two groups of former governors have filed an amicus brief in federal court supporting the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago in their lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard.
The groups urged the court to grant Illinois’ motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction blocking the deployment.
Most of the ex-governors are Democrats and five are Republicans.
