Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Guard Deployment in Chicago
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
Supreme Court Rejects Trumps Plan to Deploy National Guard in Chicago, Upholding Lower Courts BlockThe Supreme Court, in a six-to-three decision, has rejected President Trumps request to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago amid protests over his immigration crackdown. The court ruled that the government failed to demonstrate any legal authority for federalizing the Illinois National Guard without proving that regular forces couldnt handle the situation. The decision upholds a lower courts block, preventing hundreds of troops from heading to the area since October ninth. The court also noted that the government had not shown any urgent threats to officials, as claimed by Trumps team on October seventeenth. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing that the court overlooked the presidents inherent power to safeguard federal officers. The ruling comes amid a pattern of court fights over Trumps Guard deployments in various cities.
