The U.S. Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Illinois, ruling 6–3 that the administration failed to show it had legal authority to use the military to enforce laws in the state at this stage. The case stems from Trump’s October order federalizing Illinois and Texas National Guard members and sending them to Chicago. Lower courts had already barred their deployment, and the Supreme Court’s decision upholds that restriction, marking a setback for the administration.
