LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel spoke out against National Guard deployments across the country.

On Monday, President Donald Trump ordered at least 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to Chicago for two months. The Administration said it was to protect federal workers, including ICE agents, and protect federal property in Chicago.

“So what we’ve seen recently in Chicago is we’re seeing skirmishes break out between the feds and local police, who are not at all on the same page. And in some cases, it appears as though ICE is actually antagonizing the Chicago Police Department,“ Nessel said.

“That’s not helpful to the residents of the city of Chicago.”

A federal judge partially blocked the order Thursday.
