Good evening. I'm Jeff Bennett. And I'm Amna Nawaz. On the news hour tonight, President Trump's effort to deploy more National Guard troops gets caught up in the courts. We hear from the governor of one of the Democratic-led states being targeted.

After agreeing to some parts of the president's peace plan, Hamas

indirectly negotiates with Israel for an end to the devastating two-year war in Gaza.

And a new term. The U.S. Supreme Court prepares to take up a case on the controversial

practice of conversion therapy for LGBTQ youth. The care that is at stake in this lawsuit is that we are allowed to speak freely.

It ends up stacking on levels of shame that a lot of people never recover from. Welcome to the News Hour.

President Trump's plan to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities

is facing significant pushback and setting up a new showdown in federal courts over the limits of his

authority. Illinois officials sued the Trump administration today to stop plans to send 400

troops from Texas to aid an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago. The lawsuit called the

plan unlawful and dangerous, but a federal judge disagreed, declining to block the deployment for now.

It comes just a day after a separate judge blocked the Trump administration from sending

California's guard to Oregon in response to a series of clashes outside an immigration detention

facility in Portland. The president said today he wants to get the city under control and would

consider invoking the Insurrection Act. You look at what's happened with Portland over the years.

It's a burning hellhole, and then you have a judge that lost away that tries to pretend that like there's no problem.

Actually, she's not even saying that.

There's a huge problem in Portland.

I'll tell you what the problem is.

Crime.

For more on how the state is responding, we spoke earlier today with Oregon's Democratic

Governor Tina Kotech.
