The governor of Illinois says he's still in the dark about where the Trump administration will send National Guard troops who have reported to an Army training site southwest of Chicago. Extra fencing and tarps have gone up to block the public's view at the Reserve Center in Elwood. President Donald Trump's threats to send troops to Illinois were fulfilled with the arrival this week of Texas National Guard members. Their exact role has not yet been publicly disclosed, though Trump has repeatedly claimed big cities run by Democrats are overwhelmed with crime.
National Guard members from Texas are at an Army Reserve center in Illinois. It's the most visible sign yet of the Trump administration's plan to deploy troops to the Chicago area despite a lawsuit and vigorous opposition from Democratic elected leaders. The Associated Press saw military personnel in uniforms with the Texas National Guard patch at the U.S. Army Reserve Center in Elwood in the far southwestern suburbs of Chicago. On Monday, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott posted a picture on social media showing National Guard members from his state boarding a plane, but he didn't specify where they were going.
California's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against the City of El Cajon, alleging its police department has repeatedly violated state law by sharing license plate reader data with law enforcement agencies in other states. The lawsuit comes at a time of heightened concern for immigrants and women seeking reproductive care. Once data leaves California, it can be accessed by agencies in states with different policies regarding immigration or abortion. California law allows the use of license plate readers to help solve crimes, but agencies can't share the data with federal or out-of-state authorities. El Cajon's mayor called the lawsuit an overreach by the state.

Federal agents have detained several people near an immigration facility outside Chicago. This facility has been a frequent target for protesters since President Donald Trump's administration's surge on immigration enforcement this fall. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited the Broadview processing center on Friday as demonstrators gathered for a weekly show of opposition to the crackdown. Some protesters have tried to block vehicles from entering or leaving the area. Federal agents have used tear gas and other projectiles against the crowds. Local law enforcement increased its presence this week, closing streets and setting up barriers.
Police in San Bruno pulled over a self-driving Waymo taxi after it made an illegal U-turn. But without a driver behind the wheel, they could not issue a moving violation ticket. The San Bruno Police Department wrote up the weekend encounter in social media posts that have gone viral. Police said that their "citation books don't have a box for 'robot'." State law requires moving violations be issued to drivers or operators. A new state law that kicks in next year will allow law enforcement to report moving violations to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Waymo is owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet.
