U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Bid to Deploy Military in Chicago Area
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to let President Donald Trump deploy National Guard troops to the Chicago area, upholding a lower court's block on the controversial move.
The U.S. Supreme Court has dealt a blow to President Donald Trump's expanding use of military forces for domestic purposes. On Tuesday, the justices refused to allow the deployment of National Guard troops to the Chicago area, temporarily halting a controversial policy that critics have called an effort to punish political adversaries in Democratic-led jurisdictions.

In contrast, Illinois and Chicago officials contend these claims are a false pretext for an abuse of presidential power, stating the demonstrations have been limited, largely peaceful, and manageable by local law enforcement.
A National Guard deployment would 'only add fuel to the fire.'
Lower Courts Set the Stage
The Supreme Court's decision leaves in place a lower court's order. On October 9, U.S. District Judge April Perry temporarily blocked the move to federalize 300Illinois National Guard troops and bring in units from Texas. Judge Perry found no evidence of a rebellion and faulted the administration for "equating protests with riots." That ruling was upheld by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A similar legal battle unfolded in Portland, Oregon, where a federal judge permanently blocked a planned deployment on November 7.
