Here's their brief:

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...

For the past four years, illegal open-border immigration policies flooded the country with
illegal aliens, including criminals convicted of crimes in their home country, violent international
gang members, and suspected ISIS terrorists. Much of that was done in violation of federal
immigration law through the assertion of executive enforcement prerogatives. Now, President
Trump is executing Congress’s dictates and enforcing federal immigration law—which includes
valiant efforts by federal law enforcement to identify and deport alien criminals. Against that
backdrop of law enforcement, activists began to gather in cities across the United States, including
Chicago. But rather than protest peacefully, some of those protests became violent, threatening
federal officers, harming federal property, and certainly impeding enforcement of federal law.
President Trump’s deployment of a small number of National Guard members to defend against
this lawlessness is responsible, constitutional, and authorized by statute.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
