Supreme Court blocks Trump's bid to deploy National Guard to Chicago
The Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to send the National Guard to Chicago, ruling he lacked authority to federalize troops in the city.
In an unsigned decision released on Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's bid to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, saying he lacked the authority to federalize troops in the city.
The unsigned ruling confirms the court's stance in this case and leaves the legal question about federal authority in Chicago at stake.
Legal observers say the decision highlights limits on presidential power to mobilize federal troops for domestic use, at least in this Chicago context.
The ruling centers on the specific question of federal authority over Chicago, without addressing broader scenarios.
