Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow Deployment

“The Trump administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a lower-court ruling and allow President Donald Trump to deploy troops in Illinois, ramping up federal efforts to send the National Guard into the Chicago area,” the Washington Post reports.

“Trump’s administration has placed or attempted to place troops in several cities, including Chicago, Portland, D.C. and Los Angeles, prompting legal challenges from local and state officials. This case marks the first time Trump’s administration has asked the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue.”
