‘A federal appeals court panel has denied a request from the Trump administration to lift a lower court's order blocking the president from deploying National Guard troops in Illinois.
The three-judge panel on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals said the Trump administration's decision to deploy National Guard troops was a "likely violation" of the Tenth Amendment, which reserves certain powers to the states.
It also found that the Trump administration was "unlikely to succeed" in proving that there is a "rebellion" against the authority of the U.S. government or that the president is unable to execute the law with regular forces.
"Political opposition is not rebellion," the judges wrote in their decision.’

Of course Trump is in violation of the Tenth Amendment.
This is authoritarian excess and overreach.
Trump’s desire to silence political opposition with threats of military force is clearly unlawful.
