BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - An invasive fish problem has five states suing Chicago's water department and the federal government.

Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania are demanding stronger action to keep Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes. They want a judge to force Chicago to close shipping locks and gates that could provide the invasive fish with a pathway to reach Lake Michigan.
