Trump approves deployment of 350 National Guard members to New Orleans
The deployment supports federal law enforcement amid ongoing immigration crackdowns and major events, with 350 troops authorized to bolster security through February, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court left in place a U.S. District Court order blocking President Donald Trump's planned National Guard deployment to Chicago, ruling the president had not proved authority to federalize the Guard.
- Political disagreement over state leaders' stances prompted litigation that reached the Supreme Court as Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry invited the Guard, while Illinois' Democratic leaders opposed it.
- The Court's split was reflected in dissents from Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch in the 6-3 decision, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed but criticized the majority's process; President Donald Trump said, `I think it's such a shame, obviously.`
- White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the ruling did not alter the administration's core agenda, and officials noted the case could return to the Supreme Court on appeal.
- Ahead of New Year's Eve and major events, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry requested activation of 350 National Guard troops to support federal agents, saying `They will be there for New Year's Eve because they will be there for deployment through February, which we desperately need`.
