“For these historical, iconic women I had been taught so much about, I just couldn’t move,” Colvin told the Montgomery Advertiser in 2019. “I just couldn’t move. That’s the only way I knew how to resist, to not move. So they just dragged me off the bus.”

In Chicago, Judge Ellis's TRO restricted use of force—like tear gas, pepper-spray, flash bangs–and required visible ID, body cams, and protecting First Amendment Rights of protesters, clergy, and the press.
New: Illinois & Chicago filed a federal lawsuit today against DHS, ICE, Border Patrol, and associated figures like Kristi Noem & Greg Bovino.
The 103-page complaint says the Trump admin, via armed federal agents, is attempting "to coerce Illinois and Chicago to do its bidding through brute force."
The 103-page complaint says the Trump admin, via armed federal agents, is attempting "to coerce Illinois and Chicago to do its bidding through brute force."
![INTRODUCTION
1.
The Trump administration has unleashed an organized bombardment on the State
of Illinois and the City of Chicago, causing turmoil and imposing a climate of fear. Though
Defendants describe this assault as “immigration enforcement,” the reality is that uniformed,
military-trained personnel, carrying semi-automatic firearms and military-grade weaponry, have
rampaged for months through Chicago and surrounding areas, lawlessly stopping, interrogating,
and arresting residents, and attacking them with chemical weapons.
2.
The perpetrators include federal agents under the leadership of United States Border
Patrol, an arm of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”). At the direction of Defendants
Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino, a force created, trained, and equipped to defend the United
States border against smuggling and trafficking has unleashed sweeping raids and indiscriminate
violence against Illinois’ residents, particularly those living in Chicago. Their leaders condone this
activity and demand more of it.
3.
The occupation of Illinois and Chicago is intended to coerce Plaintiffs to abandon
their policies, which value and respect the State’s immigrants, and devote their resources to further
the immigration policies of the current administration. Illinois and Chicago have refused to do so.
4.
The U.S. Constitution stands as a bulwark against Defendants’ onslaught against
Illinois and Chicago. The Tenth Amendment preserves Illinois’s sovereignty. That sovereignty “is
not just an end in itself: Rather, federalism secures to citizens the liberties that derive from the
diffusion of sovereign power.” Nat’l Fed’n of Indep. Bus. v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519, 536 (2012).
“[F]ederalism protects the liberty of the individual from arbitrary power.” Bond v. United States,
564 U.S. 211, 222 (2011).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7422wlmkminudypjv6cywlzl/bafkreih37hksvwdtwjf2adokhtrmpitezzusegkxj3s255srvqrrptuutu@jpeg)
![6.
Following orders to “push the envelope,” Border Patrol, and Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents placed under Border Patrol’s command, have acted as
occupiers rather than officers of the law—randomly and brutally stopping and questioning
residents, separating parents from their children, detaining without warrant or probable cause
citizens and non-citizens alike, and using tear gas and other chemical weapons in urban
environments against unsuspecting bystanders, injuring dozens including children, the elderly and
local police officers.
7.
This has left many Illinois and Chicago residents, regardless of immigration status,
frightened to avail themselves of public services, or even venture outside to engage in normal daily
activity.
8.
Under the pretext of enforcing federal immigration law, the federal government is
attacking Illinois and Chicago’s ability to carry out their core sovereign functions—to regulate
public health, establish and implement a system of education for Illinois residents, defend the
state’s economy, provide public safety and administer a judicial system, enforce state statutes,
implement state programs, and ensure that Illinois residents receive the full benefits of state and
federal law. Defendants’ conduct has hindered the improvement and prosperity of Illinois and
Chicago and offended the core notion of dual sovereignty. This “[i]mpermissible interference with
state sovereignty is not within the enumerated powers of the National Government.” Bond, 564
U.S. at 225.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7422wlmkminudypjv6cywlzl/bafkreicsuml4abplqbjb4ihsbpqm24rcugzgefgetp6o3ic45gn7ewyvga@jpeg)
![Defendants’ misconduct is ongoing, and they have stated that they do not intend to
desist. As Defendant Bovino stated on December 30, 2025: “If you think we’re done with Chicago,
you’d better check yourself before you wreck yourself.” Bovino added, “Don’t call it a comeback;
we’re gonna be here [in Chicago] for years.” Bovino’s post included a video montage of
immigration officers chasing, tackling, and arresting people.
10.
The federal government’s menacing, violent, and unlawful incursion impedes
Illinois and Chicago from carrying out core sovereign functions in violation of the Tenth
Amendment.
11.
It also violates the Administrative Procedure Act many times over. Each of the
actions that accompanied Border Patrol’s incursion exceeds Defendants’ statutory authority and is
arbitrary and capricious, including:
Sending armed agents to roam the streets and question those they
encounter about their citizenship;
Capturing and retaining the biometric data of people they encounter
without consent;
Arresting without a warrant or probable cause;
Deploying tear gas in dense neighborhood among residents going about
their daily lives;
Initiating enforcement actions at courthouses, schools, medical facilities,
and other sensitive locations to intimidate those who seek public services;
Hiding their identities and avoiding accountability by concealing and
swapping vehicle identification; and
Trespassing on property belonging to the residents of Illinois and its
government.
12.
Illinois and Chicago seek to vindicate their sovereign authority to govern, grow,
and maintain public order and stability against an unchecked federal government seeking to coerce
Illinois and Chicago to do its bidding through brute force.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7422wlmkminudypjv6cywlzl/bafkreiabldcvgjwj6gg4cllloadgdmehptnrj77szrmhcz7lalhzkzdvgq@jpeg)
