So Texas is going to invade Illinois
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control.
That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state.
And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.

this is almost certainly under Title 32 authorities (meaning the TX guard will be nominally under TX state control but on a federal mission), meaning the posse comitatus issues that came up in California will not apply. that said, it raises a whole lot of other legal problems
