Republican senators who have no legal qualms about President Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to Chicago aren’t exactly thrilled with the standoff between state and federal officials.
“I don’t know if this is an issue of law,” Sen. Todd Young, a Republican from neighboring Indiana, said when asked about the use of troops in Chicago over local leaders’ objections and in spite of limits to what the military can do on U.S. soil.
Young didn’t offer a ringing endorsement: “It may be more an issue of propriety,” he told NOTUS.
