The Supreme Court has barred President Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago to help protect ICE agents and other federal law enforcement there.
This comes after months of oftentimes violent protests from local radical left-wing groups—and numerous arrests, including at least one armed ambush of ICE officers.
The Court said in an unsigned order: “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.”
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch—all conservatives—dissented.
