US EditionSupreme Court rejects Trump's bid to deploy National Guard in Illinois
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration lacked legal authority to federalize and deploy National Guard troops in Illinois amid immigration enforcement disputes.
- On Dec. 23, the U.S. Supreme Court turned away the Trump administration's emergency request to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago, allowing federalization but barring deployment.
- The administration argued troops were needed to protect federal immigration agents amid Chicago’s dangers, while the State of Illinois and City of Chicago said the move violated the 10th Amendment and Posse Comitatus, accusing the president of political motives.
- U.S. District Judge April Perry found no credible evidence of rebellion and issued a temporary restraining order, a conclusion the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld.
- The decision is preliminary but likely to bolster legal challenges in other cities and marks a rare Supreme Court setback for President Donald Trump.
- Legal questions over `regular forces` prompted an Oct. 29 order for more briefing, while related litigation continues in Los Angeles, California, Portland, Oregon, and the District of Columbia.
