Illinois attorney general sues to block President Donald Trump’s National Guard deployment The state of Illinois and city of Chicago sued President Donald Trump’s administration on Monday to block the deployment of Illinois and Texas National Guard troops.

This morning, I filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to stop the unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Illinois. I am absolutely committed to upholding the Constitution and defending the rule of law. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/06/i...

This Juneteenth, don’t let lies about DEI set us back Misinformation can hinder all of us from reaching our full potential.

In honor of Juneteenth, I co-authored a piece for The Contrarian on Substack with Marc H. Morial, President of the National Urban League.

This Juneteenth, don’t let lies about DEI set us back.

We won't let the Trump administration erase hard-won progress. And we will not stand by as they attack vulnerable communities who deserve protection, not persecution.
