55% : " "The district court then issues an opinion granting injunctive relief against the President's action that downplays or denies the ongoing threat to the lives and safety of federal agents, substitutes the court's own judgment for the President's about the need for military augmentation, and gives little or no weight to the United States' interest in enforcing federal immigration law," wrote Sauer.
53% : Justice Department lawyers have argued that the Chicago case presented a "disturbing and recurring pattern" in which federal officers seeking to enforce immigration laws have been met with "prolonged, coordinated, violent resistance.

42% : The president has already federalized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard and more than 200 guardsmen from the states of Texas and California have been sent to Chicago, where protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have taken place in recent weeks, with Trump declaring Chicago was a "war zone.
36% : " Trump has already sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles; Portland, Oregon; and Washington, DC, which have been met with extreme resistance from local leaders, who claim that Trump is overstepping his boundaries by trying to police cities with federal troops over mostly small and peaceful protests against ICE and the Justice Department.
30% : A three-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ruled Thursday that the Trump administration's decision to deploy the National Guard to Illinois was a "likely violation" of the US Constitution's Tenth Amendment, which reserves certain powers to states and does not allow federal oversight.
