Supreme Court Blocks Trump's National Guard Deployment to Chicago in 6-3 Vote

The Supreme Court rejected Trump's bid to deploy 300 Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago to assist ICE operations, upholding a federal district court injunction. In an apparent 6-3 vote, the Court ruled the government failed to identify authority allowing the military to execute laws in Illinois. Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissented. The deployment had been ordered amid Trump's "Operation Midway Blitz" immigration campaign targeting Chicago, where protests had erupted near an ICE facility in Broadview.
