US Supreme Court rejects Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago

SUMMARY

The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area to aid in immigration enforcement. This decision follows a ruling from U.S. District Judge April Perry, who found no evidence of a "danger of rebellion" in Illinois.

The Supreme Court's order, not a final ruling, adds to the challenges Trump faces regarding military deployments in Democratic-led cities. While justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissented, the ruling signifies a setback for Trump amid previous legal successes.

The administration claimed troops were needed to ensure the safety of federal agencies. In related cases, legal battles over National Guard deployments continue in D.C., Oregon, Tennessee, and California.
