US EditionWith Supreme Court Ruling Still Pending, Judge Says She’ll Agree to Extend Block on Guard in Chicago
The Supreme Court considers if President Trump can federalize the National Guard for protests involving fewer than 200 people near a Chicago-area detention center.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a stay blocking him from federalizing several hundred Illinois and Texas National Guard members and sending them to Broadview, Illinois.
- Protests near Broadview, Illinois have remained small, with Judge April Perry noting fewer than fifty typical protesters and crowds never exceeding 200, while federal law limits National Guard use to specific emergencies.
- Judge April Perry concluded that state and local police are more credible than the Trump administration, noting errors in declarations about September 27, 2025 arrests, while appeals courts have split on Guard deployment.
- Trump’s lawyers argue that federalizing the National Guard is solely the president’s decision, and legal observers warn this could grant unchecked power to deploy troops to 'protect' voting precincts or suppress protests.
- The framers of the U.S. Constitution feared domestic military power, and federal law and precedent treat Guard use as last resort, making Trump v. Illinois a 'make-or-break' moment for the Supreme Court.
